First, what cuts of beef are the leanest, since this seems to change from year to year?

Second, is there any reason I should not run every day? I had surgery on my ankle a year ago as many of you may now but now run about a 20-25 mile week, I feel fast if I can run under a 10 min. mile. I hope to get faster but I wanted to provide an idea of where I am right now.

What does your weekly running schedule look like?

If I were you I would try to run a little less distance and run more quality distance (imo run faster). I have taken a break from running and replaced it with some other cardio (like bike, swimming etc) but when I ran on a regimen I ran just over 2 miles on campus. I would start my stop watch and leave it just in my door, if I did not make it back to turn it off before it hit 16:30 the run didnt count :P

I run 4-5 miles per day, 5 times a week. a 10-min mile is fast for me right now and my speed intervals are bet. 9:15 and 9:30 miles. I would like to make this 6 days a week ideally. I do other cardio such as tkd conditioning on MOnday nights and the stairmaster as adjuncts.

As a former captain of my high school's track sprinting team, I suggest that you do sprints, rather than jogs or running or w/e it is that you do.
The way how I do it is that every other day before I do weight lifting, I will run for 3-5 miles. On the other days when I am not weight lifting, I'd do sprints. Some examples of sprinting excercises is going out on a trail and sprinting for 20 seconds, and then running for 15 seconds, just keep doing this interchangeable. You should be able to get a good 4-5 miles in before you burn out. If you're on the treadmill, then run at 6 mph for 4 minutes, then stop for about 10 seconds, then start again running at 6.5 mph, stop for 10 seconds, and rinse, lather and repeat. Each time you continue your run, increase your speed by 0.5 mph. suddenly stopping and suddenly starting to run again gives you a similar effect to sprinting, but I'd suggest you do the full fledged sprints out on a nice trail.

The 3rd from last sentence is very descriptive of my workout; after sprints I have to stop and catch my breath sometimes, or run a somewhat slower, longer recovery interval. I think my sprints need to get faster than they are, though.

If you are sprinting on a trail or the road, don't completely stop. If you are running ooutside (not on a treadmill), then sprint for about 20 seconds, and then slow down and jog for 15 seconds--DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP and then sprint again. Believe it or not, walking or stopping and then sprinting in cycles puts a strain on your heart, then cycling between jogging and sprinting.
