My feet and legs have become used to the orthotic inserts, but I've lost ground training. My legs felt unusually heavy for the first 2/3 of the 10k, and I wasn't breathing easily. Psychologically, I'm in the dog house. I'd guess that tiredness from yesterday's ride only accounts for part of my slowness.
Running seems a more internal sport than cycling. By that I mean your performance when cycling depends on externals like hills, valleys, flats, wind. At times you must work very hard. Other times you coast. When running on a mostly flat surface, you simply have to force yourself to work hard steadily. The landscape has much less to do with it, internal rhythm and motivation much more.
