Knee injury

    Hi guys, Sorry if this has already been posted couldnt find it. Was out running Saturday, doing an 11miler. It was mostly up hill for the first 7 and down hill then. Once I started the downhill I felt a sharp pain in my knee. I iced it etc and gave it a rest. Went back into the gym today and felt it again after about 4km but not as bad so I stopped as not to make it worse.

    Any ideas what could be wrong? Ive recently got a new pair of runners( same ones but new) As Im a student havent really got the money for physio but if it comes to it ill have too. Im currently training for the Cork Marathon and need to get back to it asap as the big mles are starting to kick in now.

    We'll get into trouble if we post medical advice. But you might be lucky and with more rest and icing you may be able to ease back into it without resorting to a fizzio who may/may not sort it out.

    Still nearly nine weeks until Cork and I would not stick rigidly to your programme and risk doing more damage in the process.
