Need exam: Difficult to say why your legs are " giving out" while running w/out a physical examination. See a board certified ors and get a diagnosis , then tx. Can begin. Common diagnoses would be quadriceps weakness , patellofemoral ( kneecap) instability , tibial periostis ( shin splints), etc.Good luck!
