I got roped into doing a 6 km 'fun run' through work about ten years ago. Had a cycling event in Italy a week before, so did no running beforehand whatsoever and just relied on my cycling fitness to get me through it. I couldn't walk downstairs without significant pain for about 3 days afterwards and it was a week at least before all the pain had gone.
The next year I did it again, but spent 6 weeks beforehand running twice a week, gradually building up the duration. Had no pain whatsoever afterwards, despite running 3 minutes faster.
