Easy run between 9 and 10 miles in 69 minutes. Mile splits: 7:52, 6:56, 7:44 (longer than a mile) , 7:10, 7:10, 8:17 (also longer than a mile), 7:32, 7:41, 9:20(longer than a mile). Knee was feeling sore towards the end so I started to slow down. However, it has been feeling better as the days go by, and the swelling has gone down.

Training like this the knee or something else will be perpetually sore or injured.

Slow down until you can run the mileage without incidents! Run 6 days a week as far as you can without injuring yourself. Steady wins over heroic. Do not do "magic" workouts, 14 or especially 19 mile runs, just jog comfortably until you can run 10 miles a day 6 days a week.

A lesson from history. 5000 meters in 1972 Olympics. Prefontaine was heroic, but Viren was steady. Viren won. Prefontaine finished 4th, one place out of medals, got beat by others who were also steady.
