Yea, my leg pain would ONLY happen when I was running. 2-3 hours after running, my legs were fine.
I would get this horrible burning in my lower legs, on the backside. Just aweful.
After my last tri, with a 13 minute mile, I know if I didn't do something... I was not going to be able to compete in tri's anymore. So, I found my coach.
I tell you, it was my heal to toe strike that did the damage... that and upping my miles too quick to train for a 1/2 marathon... and bad shoes (not supportive for my strike).
I too just wanted to run... and I didn't know why it was so hard for me.
Hopefully your pain will go away, or you will find a way to fix it. I know how frustrating it is to have pain with running that you can't get rid of/fix.
