Not to say that a proper fit isn't extremely important, but the fact that some guy fit you for 2 hours makes me suspect that he either did an extremely poor job or that you're not taking proper care of your knees.
Yeah, I didn't want to get into the whole knee thing because I've made a few other posts about it on here, but basically my cycling injury is separate from the running injury (the running injury causes no pain while cycling). As for what you have suggested, I have indeed taken all of those into consideration, and there was no high mileage jump. The main problem is that its sort of just a mystery to me after altering SO many variables without improvement.
