Was wondering, when many of us say how tired and painful our legs feel especially after the longer runs, that the response from many suggest perhaps hydration might be a problem? Why is it so important to be well hydrated?

Your blood thickens to a degree if not well hydrated. This reduces the ability to transport oxygen to muscles.
Efficient running, from effective breathing through to hydration, is all about getting oxygen to your leg muscles. Without that oxygen, muscles tire.
Makes sense, in context of recent dehydrating respiratory difficulty: breathed in too much bacteria working with a garden compost heap! Dry cough shifting mucus & 'foreign bodies' from lungs has left me dehydrated and breathing very heavy on first run this morning. Thanks for the reminder!
