    When I began running, my legs got really toned. This was due to fat loss. I got no real muscle definition until I added in strength training. The upside to strength training as well was that I lost inches like crazy. I put on 10 lbs of muscle while dropping from a size 8 to a size 4. That is why I am adding in strength training as I work to lose the 20 lbs I have gained this year.

    Cyclists go up and down various terrain requiring both endurance AND power. This is why cyclists have large quads and hams and marathon runners do not. Check out velodrome cyclists vs Tour De France cyclists.
