Can yoga be good for long distance runners and trithaletes?

Question

my knees became sore after running for about 2 wks straight running with old sneakers and running on the street. i figured out these were the likley causes of my pain and tried to fix all these. i got some good running shoes, stopped running every single day, but still ran on the street(i didnt have a soft surface to run on). after my runs i had stiff knees and experienced knee pain when squating. i think it is proably from the street but im not going to run anymore until i go the the doctor next week to make sure my pain isnt anything serious. but im wondering if making myself more flexible by taking up yoga (after i start running again) will help me prevent future injury and not make me more sore. please asnwer and thanks!
