Running can be sneaky like that. That first run ever can seem easy especially for a cyclist with good lungs and heart, but it's brutal on your body. You have to slowly work up to even a mile of continuous running.
I've been running 3-4 times a week for a few months now after taking some time away from it for cycling earlier this year. I'm up to about 4 miles per run now, but yesterday I did 2 miles of hard intervals (more like 1 mile of intervals and half a mile of warm up/cool down) and my legs are exhausted today.
