I'm not a runner, per se. I am "training" for my own 10k. (I'm very slow)
I have no problem running (or biking or working out for two hours) on the diet.
The diet's not all that low in carbs, so have some fruit and a protein shake before the run. 10k isn't that far.
You might find that you do better taking in some simple carbs before a run when you are trying to be fast. Test it out.
If you decide on a workout drink, make sure to do your actual run using the same method. Don't NOT have a workout drink for practice, then add one for the race because it's so important to do well. Recipe for disaster.
I'd also post a question in the running forum. I know there are a few there who are or have been low carb runners.
