Legs were still sore, can't believe how much I hit these on Monday. All is good once I start running though, but not so good when I have to pick up something off the ground. Some faster pace during second run.

Read recently about the benefits of squats for running. I need to do more stuff like that. I'm sure it will pay off for you.

Yes, I do them for injury prevention. Dead lifts are also good. Problem is if u go too deep in the sets or reps then running can suffer for days afterward because of fatigue. Still trying to find the right balance and I need to show more restraint. You are right, they should pay off as we age.
