I was reading an article in Running Times and one of the articles I was reading was talking about avoiding ones legs getting tied up near the end of a race Confused

Are we talking about one having a hard time with turnover from pushing too hard or something else?

I think they're talking about lactic acid build up when your legs get all weird and tight after running hard for a significant period of time.

Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

Indeed! I experienced this for the first time this summer when trying to run 400m all-out. I would get 300m into the race, and then no matter how hard I tried I couldn't move any of my leg muscles. I almost fell down. This is what it looks like to be tied up:

Others call it "trenting". Personally, I believe the best way to avoid trenting is phelpsing.

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I think I know this sensation...I got it maybe in the last quarter mile or so of my 25k back in May. Weird. I also had it towards the end of a run in the past week...not even a particularly long or hard run, just came on at random. Are there any specific causes, other than effort? What I had wasn't so much painful as it felt like my calves had turned to rock and it felt like my mobility was limited. I kind of wonder if the recent bout was brought on by adapting to the Superfeet insoles?
