Sore legs: causes and remedies

http://www.yourrunning.com/forum-sore_legs_need_advice

Q: I have been training off and on for a 5k (that's in a week from today) mostly running 1.25 miles each time. (My neighborhood loop is that long and it's easy)I am about 60 lbs overweight, and the 1.25 miles have never done much damage to me except wind me. But, the last two times I have gone, my legs (knee and below) have gotten very sore and weak. I have not done anything different than all my other runs. What is the problem? What do I need to change/take?
