Wait, I though cardio stole your gains? Surely the further you ran, the smaller your legs would be?

Bipocni I wish cardio stole my freaking size on my legs. I guess it's genetic but I did a considerable amount of bike riding and walking throughout my childhood don't know how that impacted them. Anyway even when I could run a marathon my legs were still quite big. I was unable to walk without crutches for about 6 months and still barely any change..... It is frustrating to say the least. I've now spent years basically ignoring leg training trying to shrink them and they are mildly smaller now but sine starting f1 and riding my bike again they are already starting to grow a bit. My calves are the biggest culprits for growth but after all these years at least they aren't so massive any more...
Why does anyone want to shrink their legs? Is it to make gymnastics easier? I feel that continuing to train and just getting stronger would yield better results...
Rather than focusing on becoming less, shouldn't we focus on becoming more?
