Knee advice
Only you can decide.. your body will tell you. Rest and gentle exercise may help, but only you will know whether you feel you can run for 10 miles.

I will do a short slow run on sat pm and see how it feels i think. I have noted the strengthening exercises and will definitely start them when my knee feels on top form. 😊
Tough call. The only thing you can do is see how you feel on Sunday morning and make a decision then. If it still feels unstable then you probably shouldn’t run. If it feels ok then give it a go but be prepared to stop if it gives way again. I know it’s disapppinting but it’s a race and there will be others whereas you have only two knees!
Good luck whatever happens.
Good advice already given above - but if you do decide to run, be prepared to stop if your knee isn't up to it. It's not worth ending up on the injury couch for months - there are plenty more races ahead for when you are fully fit. Take care.🙂
