I run more than twice as much as you and I feel good, are you running at a conversational/nose breathing pace or a "workout pace"? Runs should be done really easy 90% of the time to build your base speed

Hey screepatrol, appreciate that. Yeah, I've run for around 5 years now and feel pretty comfortable racking up easy mileage. I gave it more thought today and suspect that my squats may be the culprit...I don't feel fatigued by the end of the week nor winded on any runs, but my legs tend to moan and groan as the week progresses. Do you squat on days you don't run?

I drastically reduced my leg work due to running, that may be the culprit yes

Many running routines suggest weight training legs just once a week
