Hi i have had knee pain and i'm an avid runner and have just had an mri which results say i have a 5mm chondral ulcer a grade 4 chondral fissuring ?

It's serious: Grade 4 means the bone is exposed. I presume it hurts because you had an MRI done. Get treatment soob. You may need arthroscopic surgery.
