Good morning, Happy 4th of July!
I am a firm believer that the condition of ones health/fitness internally far outweighs the external appearence
Run, always run, or another form of CV is more important, health and fitness wise than the muscle/strength building.
Running will slow down and limit the building of muscle mass but is an inseparable part of fitness training.
Remember, the heart is probably the single most important muscle we have (ok, second in importance lol)
Training with calesthetics/own weight etc. has limitations anyway so huge Lee Haney type physiques you're not going to get anyway, in other words, the benefits of runing far outweigh the disadvantages.
Personally, i used to love endurance runs, slow and long, alternating days with shorter and faster, always preceeding a calesthetics type workout. The calesthetics workout is also good for fitness, i superset everything, resting after superset only, ie:
1 set Pushups/1 set pullups,1 minute rest etc.
I am not in any way qualified in fitness relates fields, just been training a few years.
