It seems the more I run, the more difficult it is to run. There are days when I can run 15 miles and I feel fine. Other days I run 4 or 5 and I’m wiped out.
Today was one of them. I was scheduled to run 12 miles this weekend for my long slow run. But my legs were in pain from the beginning.
I ran 8 miles a few days ago and that felt fine. I’m wondering if my legs never recovered fully from that run and that’s why today was so uncomfortable. I ended up doing a slow 6, walking part of the time. Hopefully this will get better.

Hang in there Logan. I'm only "training" for the 5 mile race Sept. 13th but like you I feel like I could go 8-10 miles sometimes but the legs say "sorry, not today". I was more of a sprinter and run on the front of my feet so my calf muscles tighten up. At my advanced age I'm strictly an every other day runner at best and need the recovery time. At least its been cooler lately. Good Luck!! -
