When your muscles burn, it means you have gone from aerobic respiration to anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration, or cellular respiration, uses oxygen to produce the ATP your muscles need to function. When you run long enough or fast enough, however, your muscles run out of oxygen and must turn to anaerobic respiration, which also produces ATP but has lactic acid as a waste product. It is the lactic acid that makes your muscles burn and makes them sore afterwards and the next day.

Who many muscles work while running?
Quite a few muscles go to work while running. While there are the obvious muscles (Such as calf, thigh, hip, and hamstrings) other muscles are subtly at work also. The abdominal muscles are slightly worked, along with the arms and back muscles. The arms are constantly swinging, going against air friction/wind during the run. Your back helps keep you in the upright position and is constantly shifting while you take each step. So pretty much your entire body goes to work while running (even your toes which push you off the ground). Hope that helped :)
