Got to see the doctor finally regarding my wonderfully mysterious knee pain.
He diagnosed me quickly as having a "pronation whip" as my foot left the ground. This means that, from the knee down on my right leg, when my foot leaves the ground my lower leg whips around like a propeller.
He prescribed a running coach for the longer-term but, in the short-term he recommended a full-length insole that has some cushioning and arch support which somehow keeps my leg from whipping so much.
So far so good. I did my first 20 miler last weekend and, aside from back pain due to all the hills encountered, knees felt great!
