If you've dropped it too low, your thighs will absolutely burn because your position is bad. In fact, a saddle that's too low can sap 15-20% of your power, at a minimum.
Apologies for the confusion.
I checked the settings on the bike and the seat has dropped 2cm from the original fitting that I had done when I first got the bike. Along with tire pressure dropping that is.
Must have been some of the bumps and potholes I hit.
