Is this a regular thing or did it just happen in this run? If it’s recent, it may just be your legs telling you they need a rest, and a few days off (even a week if that’s what it takes) won’t do any harm.

That said, if there’s any possibility it may be related to a previous serious condition, see your doctor.

Go get this checked out by your GP... the run will wait and you need to be sure all is good to go :)
