I had this a bit and started having half a banana before a run(I run first thing before food) and found this helped a little x
That's quite normal. We all have days like that.
It was probably just one of "those" runs. They can happen anytime and come out of the blue. We all have them from time to time.
Possible Check list:
Hydrated?
Rested or tired?
Running at a different time of day
Rest day taken, maybe another needed between runs
How was the weather- humid, hot, wet
There can be many reasons but you kept going and that is really great. Well done you didn't let it beat you.

Heavy legs is a classic symptom of poor hydration. You should be drinking 2.5 to 3 litres each and every day, as mentioned in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
