Is strength-training bad for a runner?

Is strength-training bad for a runner?I am primarily a runner. However I am looking to do some weight-training due to having a desire to become strong as well. I already have very good calisthenic skills (pushups, pullups, etc). However...I have these fears: Will weight training damage my runner's body and is counterproductive? Do you think becoming stronger is basically a danger to a runner's body? I dont mean that I want the strength training to improve my running (I know it probably wont), I just dont want it to damage my body (which is "optimized" for running although its quite strong due to calisthenics). submitted by /u/ultimatebeing [link] [comments]
