Varies: There are multiple potential causes, among the more common is known as ilio tibial band syndrome which causes pain in the area you are describing and is one of the more common causes of knee pain in runners, particularly women. Therapy it even a cortisone shot can help. It is important to warm up and stretch before running to prevent recurrence. Consider being seen.
