You can do it at a 2.5 mph pace! Approach it as "a hike with runnable spots" and take it easy. I find that with knee pain, for the downhills, it helps to do a lower-impact, big-stepping glide (I call it "the granny glide"!) rather than run the downhills, and it allows you to move nearly as fast. Take heart in the adage for ultras, "the thing you think will be the problem usually turns out not to be—it's something else." In other words, your knee may behave and stay quiet, but don't be surprised if some other issue flares up. Enjoy the beautiful Lake District!
