Skip all other responses in this thread.

You have patellar tendonitis from overuse. Pretty common in marathon runners. You will have to suck it up until the race because the most effective way of getting rid of this is rest. Palliatively care for it with some ibuprofen and ice and suck it up until you are done with the race.

As far as gait and running mechanics. Some people heel strike and some people forefoot strike. Neither is wrong. There are benefits to both and cons to both. If you know a PT have them looks at your running form and they can give you a hand.
