Hi,
I am also a runner. I am currently tapering cyclosporine and get terrible arthritis in my knees every time I lower the dosage. It lasts about a week or two and then goes away. When it's happening however, I feel like I'll never be able to walk normally again, let alone run! Perhaps your pain is also related to the cyclosporine??? Yoga seems to help me when I have these flare-ups.
If your pain is persistent and severe, you may want to consult your doctor. Prednisone has an infrequent but terrible side effect for some people in that it can cause bone death in the joints. Hopefully, this is not the case for you.
