well we're on a kendo board so I didn't think I was totally off the wall in thinking that you would want the muscles you use in kendo built up.

So you meant to say that running wouldn't build me up for kendo, besides the leg?

And just in case you're thinking it, don't worry about that myth that having muscles makes you slow. As long as you don't train purely for bulk, you will get faster. Muscles were meant to be able to move their own weight and more. I know muscles don't slow you down (Terrell Owens has like 0% body fat), but when you build yourself up, doesn't it slow you down somewhat? Like, how bulky do you have to be for your muscles to slow you down? Just enough to look a bit big for your height, or enough so you can no longer scratch your own head?
