Why do muscles burn while running?

When your muscles burn, it means you have gone from aerobic respiration to anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration, or cellular respiration, uses oxygen to produce the ATP your muscles need to function. When you run long enough or fast enough, however, your muscles run out of oxygen and must turn to anaerobic respiration, which also produces ATP but has lactic acid as a waste product. It is the lactic acid that makes your muscles burn and makes them sore afterwards and the next day.
