Dead Legs after regimen change?

OK a little background. I’m a type 1.5(LADA) been very active running and cycling most of my life and over the past few years have run 2 half marathons numerous 5K and 10K’s 5 milers. This past Sunday was my second Broad Street Run in Philly (10miler) I’ve been on track to run it at a 7:00 pace.
