I rarely see anyone with a nice athletic body running...and if they do look good they didn't get that way by running.
Of course, this is looking at it from a superficial aesthetics perspective...but what other reason would there be to punish your knees with persistent repetition of crashing your entire body weight onto one foot over and over and over?

You do realize you can run and lift as well right? I do 3 days a week lifting and 4-5 running.
I'm 40 years old and don't have a "Muffin Top"
Also, it's not just about the way you look, running is extremely beneficial to Cardiovascular health. After a run I feel amazing, never do I feel that after an hour of lifting.
