Chris–
Where you had a partial meniscus removal you have less of a buffer for silliness or less than ideal technique.
It may be very beneficial to go back to the beginning with these movements and spend time doing skill work.
You are a different athlete now. Not a good/bad thing just different.
I can speak to the importance of taking the time to do alot of skill work from personal experience.
Taking the time to correct any deviations in technique during the early stages is key.
With proper running technique you should be ok to run pain free/ injury free.
