See below: You need to go to a good running store and have your gait looked at. It may be that you are in the wrong running shoe or need an orthotic for stability.

New shoes: You may need new shoes. Also, you may have to have your gait analyzed by someone who is very knowledgeable about running to possibly recommend changing some of your form and stride.
