Help! Running with knee injury

I have a tendency to dislocate my left knee cap and it has happened around 3 times. The most recent was when I was swimming in around April and I have been seeing a physio ever since. I'm around 1/2 to my goal of running 5km at a steady 9kmph and wear a knee brace when I run. Recently I've been experiencing some pain and it feels a little weak. Can I continue running or should I stop (really don't want to as I love to run)

    I would say you need to see your doctor. Also checkout a you tube video by a former Olympian on Deep water running to help recover from injuries. It is really a great work out. My pool is over 6ft more like 8ft but you really can run in deep water and I love it.

    Hope you heal soon.
