Hi!
I ran the Chicago Marathon last year! I don't recall if I had knee troubles or not when I trained, but I remember my training partner had problems with her knees. I can ask her what she did for it. I recall it got worse before it got better for her. Ultimately, however, she was able to do and finish the marathon. I know she used ice, and she got a knee brace. Also, proper shoes are a must. Take the shoes you are wearing now to a GOOD running store and let them see the wear patterns on the bottom. By looking at that, they can tell you what your deficiencies are.If you don't have a problem with pronation, then you should go for maximum cushion. I highly recommend Asics Gel Cumulus IV or V. We both used those-heaven sent!
Also, you may be training too fast and too hard. I know online you can find great training schedules for whatever level you are at. Try www.coolrunning.com or www.runnersworld.com
Finally, your whole body must be in shape. If ab and back muscles aren't strong (your core muscles), then your alignment will be off, and you will feel it in your KNEES.
So, ab and back exercises, too!
Sincerely, Lisa
