If your knees are hurting, your running technique is likely wrong. I know a lot of people start off running heel to toe, which is backwards and puts a ton of stress on your knees.
For those who don't know, you're supposed to land on the ball of your foot, which basically turns your lower legs into a shock absorber for your knees.
