Answer 1

If you are in the ages of 10-16 or so, you may have osgood schlatter disease. I had it for a little while (usually lasts for just a couple months) and it is very common for young runners. Visit the page below for more information.

Answer 2

You should make sure you are wearing proper fitting shoes and remember you need to change shoes every six months.
