What Is The Electric Shock Like Sensation I Feel In My Thigh Muscles?

After about 6 miles of running both quads start feeling like tiny electrical shocks. Use to do this until I started electrolytes while running. Did this while running over 12 -20 miles. Just came off a 4 month recovery break for my knee and starting to run again. What is this?
