Still sore 5 days after leg day - Lemmy.one

Basically, it’s been five days and I’m unable to even sit in a chair without a struggle. I didn’t go too hard, mainly squats and leg press. I didn’t think it would take this long to recover considering I still run 4 times a week. Is it normal to be this sore and what can I do to help it? I really really want to get back in there and work on my squat form but I can’t even get close to parallel right now due to the soreness

Not sure if this is relevant but working odd hours affected my strength, endurance, and energy. I’ll never accept a job where I have to wake up at 2am again.
