Do you warm up, stop and stretch before upping the effort? I just make sure the first 5 minutes are at low effort. And likewise, do you finish with low effort? I'm afraid I tend to finish with a sprint.
I've been in a similar situation for the last few years. If I get 2 runs in they are usually on consecutive days at the weekend. At first it wasn't a problem but over the last couple of years I've become more injury prone ... used to love the carefree sprint at the end too once upon a time.
Congratulations for the 10 miler the other day!
