If you are serious about your running then it might be time to invest in a good pair of running shoes!. Any good sports store will have them!. That combined with a pair of running insoles will make a huge difference in your performance!. Not only will your speed increase but our knees will not hurt nearly as bad!. They shouldn't run you more than $100!.
If running is something you want to do for a long time, it would also be a good idea to do knee strengthening exersizes!. This will prevent knee problems later in life!.
