Actually, dc, this may be just what you need. Excessive bike riding

Going from nothing to 4 straight days is likely the problem.

Also...could be shoes. I assume if you liked running you know to get good shoes

Get two pairs so you can alternate the shoes. They need time to rest/reset too

Slow down your pace and rest or cross train. Your body clearly isn't ready.

That's a bad training regimen, especially when you haven't been that active

Try running barefoot on your next run day. Go to a local football field and run

The 4th day is the worst. Keep pushing it and your body will thank you for it.
