I wanted to add from a previous thread but thought it was too much to have to go back the last page so I'll say it in this comment page. To strengthen your squats you can practice 1 legged squats. If you aren't able to do this then start by resting the back leg on a box and adapt to it. This should strengthen your squats considerably. Lengthen your strides. This can be accomplished by increasing your running pace instead of going for distance with shorter strides. May help with your squats.

Also, do you have a page that gives your proportions, measurements, age, bodyfat, current goals, etc.? It's so much easier to follow and read into an athlete when you have these details.
