Brakes heating up

[Joel1993]

Right... Another problem. Smelt a bit of burning rubber for a slight second today on way to work. Then coming home all was good and then car seemed to be slower than usual. Didnt pick up speed as good. Checked the heat of the front two disked and scolded myself... They were too hot. What could be the causes for this?
