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

Edit* side note I went from an extremely sedentary lifestyle to a very active one about 6 months ago, starting with running but now my legs are paying the price of no strength training. So it may be that I'm just so new to the workouts

I was recently sore in my legs a good 3 days, when it's normally just a day. I could barely walk for two of them.
