I’ve been reps of 10-12 on a lower weight than I would 5 reps. So building stamina as well as strength. This should be beneficial for running

When you say increasing leg volume, do you mean the amount of overall training you are doing on your legs (reps, sets, etc) or increasing their actual volume - as in size? (I ask this due to your Q about building mass).
mass building and strength can be interconnected if you want them to be, they can be a bit more separate. As long as you're doing some kind of strength training to stimulate hypertrophy (muscle growth), mass building will come more from your diet than the style of training you're doing.

Just getting back into strength stuff again, but with different goals for winter and into next year. Cycling and all the volume that entails is out, and running is the plan.
Plan is to gingerly start building up running volume and trying not to get injured. But at the same time work on increasing leg volume. Not quite sure where to start - my usual winter training is some 5x5 variant. I guess the mass building bit comes after the strength bit (or am I way off the mark?)..
