90% of sore knees from running can be cured by doing 1 simple thing - spend equal time conditioning your leg muscles in the gym!
Leg curls, extentions, calf raises, leg presses, squats, and abductor/adductor exercises will make a world of difference.
It's insane to think that you could put your legs through so much punishment on the pavement without strengthening and conditioning them as well.
Also, stretch lightly before a run, and a little more heavily after a run.
Concentrate on a smooth stride, without any jarring impacts.
