It is a load problem
Patellofemoral pain usually appears after a jump in mileage, hills or intensity — not because of a structural fault.
Strength that matters
Quadriceps and hip abductor strength, plus tolerable knee flexion loading, are the main drivers of recovery.
Running modification
Slightly higher cadence, flatter terrain and a controlled build usually keeps you running throughout.
