Thanks for the advice I guess its kinda a "you can do only what you can do thing" Oh and the running I do now is a mixed up bunch of stuff 4 times a week and closer to a fight its 6 days a week about 40 minutes a day spent running diffrent stuff, but Im thinking of starting a more organized running program to take my cardio to the next level. The thing is, is that my legs are the thing I want to add more power to also, so Ive been squating alot and can't seem to find a balance. The running program I would like to start would be something like this.(starting out)

Mon. 3 mile run at a good pace
Tues. 200 and 400 sprints, rotate the 2 and 4's
Wed. 45 minute tempo run
Thurs. 3 miles at race pace
Sat. 5 to 7 mile jog

I think a program like this is what I need to take my cardio to the next level. I think I might drop one running day and only squat once a week.
