did you build up the volume gradually?
did you do a thorough dynamic warmup before running? a good dynmaic warmup should have you sweating lightly by the time you are finished.
7 days a week is too much for HIIT, 4 days a week max of cardiovascular activity is enough to get in shape. most require 24-36 hours to recover from.
what does your current schedule look like?
also, you should always do static stretches post workout. foam rolling and contrast showers can also decrease soreness and promote recovery.

I used to get that, too. I wouldn't feel fresh enough to run for another 3-6 days, so I would wait. Then I started trying to run even though I was sore, and I found that even if I was really sore, by the time I was done warming up and stretching I felt totally fresh. I say just go every other day if you're sore or not, and you'll find that after your warmup you feel fine.
Don't be hatin
