Endurance and long distance running might make you skinny fat, but that isn’t the type of running I am talking about here. Sprints and HIIT (High Intensity!) exercises build muscle because they are high intensity, and don’t result in that skinny fat appearance that you’ll find with a lot of long distance runners.
The other key is the Olympic lifting, which helps to increase explosiveness and speed, but also works every muscle in the body. You should definitely still squat and do other heavy exercises, but at the same time you don’t want to get too bulky, unless that is what you are going for.
