[SteveMobsterG]

In terms of building muscle thru weight training and/or maintaining muscle mass how much of a negative is it to also run 1-2 miles a day?

I used to jog 4 miles a day and it did impede on leg gains. I stopped jogging and my legs started growing again. You are talking half of that so you should be good.
Prior to a competition, I traded jogging cardio for walking and also noticed a big difference. The jogging on a caloric deficit took too much out of me.

I think that you would be fine at the pace you are going.

Best thing you can do is listen to your body and rest more when you need to.

look at the legs of Sprinters in the Olimpics and you'll notice doing sprints is actually a great way to build mass on your legs.

Agree that's why I was concerned about jogging a couple miles a day on a treadmill.
