sounds like youve got corrosion behind the piston seals so that the rubber is squeezed onto the piston which allows it to operate but not retract. Effectively the pad is then continually in contact with the disc so the brake lever doesnt have to be moved so much for braking. Try pushing the bike to test for resistance or feel the temperature of the discs after a run......
