Here's the story, I'm not a marathon runner, I run 3-4 times a week for about 30 - 40 min. on a treadmill, just to stay in shape. When I started increasing the intensity of those runs, my knee began hurting. Sports (ortho.) doc said it was tendonitis - lay off running for a while and start back gradually, ice it after each run. I have layed off for 3 - 4 weeks and I've started back + ice, but knee is starting to hurt again.

Any runners out there with advice on dealing with tendonitis?
