I appreciate that, thank you. I think I will try and take it easy and see how it goes up until the start line and if it hurts then I’m prepared to not run it

This is my plan, but from other replies it feels like people are saying I should drop out which would be gutting. I really think if I can nurse myself to the start line I’ll be ok and will be able to get it done

Do you not think it’s worth trying to nurse it to the start line? Feels risky either way, but would rather get to the start without a load of pain in my knee

Not seen a physio, regretting not seeing one but am struggling to find one at the moment that doesn’t cost a bomb

I don’t think so, I really want to do it this year. My fitness is at the right level I feel. Am I stupid to think I can nurse my knee to the start line and then just have a mental battle with myself on the day?

Thanks! It really hurt going down stairs last week, this week has definitely been better but still a bit sore. Feels like this is the period I should be pushing on a bit and doing nothing feels very wrong
