>>7438934I could run 30 miles a week and ruin my knees over time as well as induce any other running-related overuse injury for no useful gains or I could actually work on applicable leg strength and still condition myself to be able to run longer/faster than I'd ever reasonably find myself needing too.

But you know, whatever floats your boat and all that.
