I do 5-10k runs once or twice a week. While my legs inevitably get tired, last time they felt unusually heavy before even hitting one kilometre. Especially the ankles which felt solid rock.

Do you do any kind of warmup?
I don’t remember! Sometimes when I don’t feel lazy I stretch beforehand (I should be more consistent). But I usually begin by simply walking then elevate the intensity progressively.
My biggest suspicion was breathing. I somewhat remember that I wasn’t properly inhaling and exhaling, sometimes would hold my breath unconsciously.
This morning I made sure to stretch and actively breathe. Didn’t face an issue.
