Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hello,
The pain is due to faulty biomechanics of the foot placement while doing cardio.Since you over did it the muscles on the front of your leg overworked,hence the pain.
As a treatment you need to get assessed by a physical therapist for the correction of the foot placement and strengthening of concerned muscles
Also it would've good if you get the footwear checked for were and tear.
For the while reduce the cardio intensity to prevent pain at knee and hip
Hot packs on the joint will provide some pain relief
hope this helps you
thank you
