Gym workout and running, protein qstion?

If you are trying to build on your muscle tissue, you don't have to eliminate running, but cut it back and do it after your resistance training. -------------- Michael If you have to tell people you're good, you're not that good.

I eat well, take about 3 protein shakes a day, 1 between meals meeting my daily protein requirement for muscle mass building. Question is' will the running have a detriment on my muscle gains even though i'm getting all the protein i need, should i up the protein intake because im running? One thing the running is doing is giving me nice ab definition, which is a plus. thanks
