No injury I'm aware of. I've never been a runner, trying to start in my 60's. Starting with c25k plan, so it's mostly walking with short bursts of very slow running. No pain during run, but for a week afterward get pain in left kneecap whenever I go up stairs. Everything I've read about kneecap pain is not good.
Not heel striking. I wear thin shoes with no padding (barefoot style) so I couldn't even if I wanted to.
It could be some kind of form issue, I guess.
It's a mystery.

Its better to run with padding than do not run at all. > It could be some kind of form issue, I guess. few points to check: * make sure you strike under your center of gravity and not in front of it * even you don't do heel striking, make sure your feet is almost flat, this will engage bunch of muscles for impact ammortization. * make sure you don't jump up and down, but more like your hips are floating forward in straight line
