Well, as I've said, I'm no expert in training for running, but I hope you can talk to the right kind of trainer to instruct you on exactly which muscles to train. What if you overtrain your quads for example?

Yeah, I've noticed sprinters are generally pretty heavily muscled; guess there's a reason for that.

Gonna train your forearms? Wonder how that's going to affect your guitar playing ;)
