The Natural Philosopher explained :
I did that once, and the last 50 yards were..interesting. Almost no brakes
left.

Yes, front pads were almost worn out. Discs were not to hot either. Or rather
they were red hot nearly by the time I had.

New pads would not make any difference, unless they are down to metal.
Your disks are supposed to get hot, they convert energy to heat via the
process of friction.
