Any probable cause and any suggestions to prevent soreness?
Road. I've just started really, so it could be any of the things you mention. Ran two days in a row and today they're uncomfortable. My mate got me into it and he runs marathons so I'm trying to follow his advice on form but without him here to pick me up on mistakes it could be that.Running on the road or track/treadmill?
Initial thoughts other than hard surface are footwear, technique or just that your knees aren't used to the impact.

Thanks for the advice.Vary your mileage and times running as well, if your just starting could be pushing a bit too hard before your used to the training. Run every other day for a while and see if a rest day helps or one day longer and one day shorter. Also go by times, fartlek training is good to assist you improve individual performance, once you reach a reasonable standard of fitness.
Need to vary things and to build up slowly, always makes sure you stretch before and after and also warm up and warm down as tight muscles will also cause issues. Make sure you do hamstring stretches, easy to do stand on toes on kerb edge and push heels down then raise them up, before and after as well.
All above required to assist you not hurting yourself. If you do not do above they can cause issues that you struggle to get over. Pain is not just a figment of imagination leaving the body, it is a warning to you, get me sorted.
Thanks for the advice.
The track will cause you just as many issues without the right supports like marra.Ran again yesterday. Knees worse than ever. Gonna try track at Silky next time and see if surface is the issue. If I still have issues might just have to knock it on the head, unfortunately.

Was recommended these.
I'm fairly fit to begin with and go to the gym regularly. I was in the US recently and as I couldn't get to a gym (they were all miles away, fifteen minutes or more by car) we went running a few times. When I was over there we did four milers and I didn't have too many issues. Since I came back I've ran 2.2 miles three times and after the last one my knees are pretty uncomfortable. Not sure what has changed between then and now. Same shoes and everything, no change in technique as far as I can tell.Ignore your mate. He means well but your form is based on your own biomechanics. As others have said, make sure you have the right shoe for the way you run. Also make sure you don't do too much too soon. Have you started with a proper couch to 5k programme
There's one in Durham? I'll see if I can get along some time.
Aye i think. Phone up before you go to make sure they have them.There's one in Durham? I'll see if I can get along some time.
