I have recently began training for a half marathon, but one day i noticed pain in the back of my knee that won't go away. any advise?

Have it evaluated: Posterior knee pain may result from arthritis or a tear or strain, the tear can be in the meniscus or even involved the calf muscle. An MRI can be very helpful in this situation. See an orthopedist.
