It's because lactic acid is a mild toxin. Reduced oxygen in the bloodstream causes lactic acid to build up in the body's tissues. This causes muscle cramps which forces you to rest, to give your body time to recover.

Therefore, I'd say, it doesn't make you run slower. It makes you want to stop, because you're getting less oxygen and you most probably have a stitch.

Why is lactic acid a problem?
The build-up of lactic acid in muscle tissue during strenuous exercise being actually a common cause of muscle cramps. This happens from insufficient oxygen not being able to oxidize lactic acid, which would otherwise get rid of it from muscle. Inosine and Creating supplements also help as preventive remedies to reduce the build-up of lactic acid in muscle

Does gender effect the accumulation of lactic acid?
Research shows that gender has no effect on the accumulation of lactic acid. The build up of lactic acid depends on the intensity or amount of exercise being performed.
