I tend to do my strength session on easy days, which means that it is typically followed by a hard day. Often a bit achey if I've been doing pliometrics, but it doesn't seem to affect my training.
However, I played football on Monday for the first time in about five years and my legs are killing me today. 20 min tempo planned for lunchtime, which might be interesting.

No. It'll just cause more damage. Cycle if you can.

Okay - will give them a rest! Thanks for the reply
I kind of run through the post-workout pain regardless!
Yes, you will be fine. An easy run will help with recovery.

I find a gentle jog/run helps recovery - first few steps can be painful but by the end my legs tend to feel better.
I find a gentle run loosens me up but I tend to know if I'm doing to much, also cycling helps and a good stretch out after.
If I stayed in when my legs ached I'd never run at all
