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.

Swim laps in between running

I confess I'm smirking at you...

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.

My question is, why are you running this much?

Not for like weight loss or any sort of training?

HIT is proving to be better for weight loss while even building or maintaining

Instead of 3 miles over 4 days, just do 12 miles in one day and take the next
