You've thrown me with this. I meant, when that force goes through your leg running, it's at a much lower degree of flexion than what you'd experience on a leg press so weights shouldn't be close to comparable. Am I missing the point completely here? (Please tell me if I am - I don't know nearly enough about strength training for endurance).

My understanding is that strength training gets the best overall results if you're at or heading towards full range of motion, particularly on the eccentric part.
If you don't use that part of the range in some sport, you can still use the greater strength it got you.

Im just going what I’ve been told by several running coaches and running specific physios! And seems backed up by training plans of a fair amount of track athletes. I’m not sure on more than that.

The guidance is that you would ideally be able to single leg press that as a specific strength test for runners.
