One of the most common injuries among runners, runner's knee most often strikes as runners approach forty miles per week for the first time. Even after taking a few days off, the knee pain from running seems to come right back, sometimes even intensifying, after the first few miles of the next run. The knee pain often feels worst when running downhill or walking down stairs, and the knee is often stiff and sore after sitting down for long periods.
When I start my runners back in training after knee surgery, I recommend they run every other day and bike or swim on off days. After three weeks of running on alternate days, your knee should be conditioned well enough for you to resume your normal training program. If your knee begins to swell after you run, you know you've done a little too much. Ice your knee, use anti-inflammatories and back off your running a bit. If you rehab sensibly and gradually after knee surgery, you should be able to run just as fast and as far as you did before surgery.
