Chondromalacia of the patella refers to the softening of the cartilage of the kneecap. The cartilage in our knees relies upon intermittent compression to squeeze out waste products and then allow nutrients to enter the cartilage from the synovial fluid of the joint. When you run, certain mechanical conditions may predispose you to a mistracking kneecap. Portions of the cartilage may then be under too much or too little pressure and the appropriate intermittent compression that is needed for waster removal and nutrition supply may not be present.
