Anybody else find "easy runs" more difficult than the name suggests?

Ran the 10k Crookstown race on saturday in a new PB of 45:32. Today, 2 days on, I went for my first run since then. The plan was to go 4.5 miles at a nice easy pace. While it felt easy cardio wise, the legs didnt feel good whatsoever. The felt stiff, achey, had that sort of lactic acid type feel to them. I just felt lousy…

Ran the 10k Crookstown race on saturday in a new PB of 45:32. Today, 2 days on, I went for my first run since then. The plan was to go 4.5 miles at a nice easy pace. While it felt easy cardio wise, the legs didnt feel good whatsoever. The felt stiff, achey, had that sort of lactic acid type feel to them. I just felt lousy and awkward for the duration of my run which I decided to cut short at 3.9 miles. Another time 2 weeks ago I had a similar problem. These so called "easy runs" arent quite as easy as they are made out to be.

Maybe my body hadnt recovered fully from saturdays race, but I do find the whole running slowly thing quite a challenge. It feels like I'm putting more weight on my legs by running at a slower pace than it does when I'm running all out. Has anybody had similar problems or is it just me?:cool:
