If you can, go out for an easy bike ride today. That'll ease the muscle pain.
If you are going to take up running, then ease into it gently rather than starting with park runs. The risk of injury is high, especially coming from a cycling background.

an easy bike ride today.
Im going to head to one of the 7stanes trail centres. Don’t know if that quite qualifies as ‘easy’.
I guess the actual running isn’t that painful, just hard work, but my legs are in bits after it.

This is true.
If you have the heart and lungs of a club cyclist and you suddenly take up running you will be able to put a lot of power through your legs for a sustained period of time. But that creates a problem. The supporting muscles around your knees, ankle, calf will not be ready for it. Over use injury is likely, especially if you are older than about 25.

Muscle pain mostly, just because it's different muscles to what cycling uses I figured.
