Lol. Of all exercises the deadlift is one of the least vain.
Go deadlift while the Kenyans get their 3rd run in today bro
No, you're not the only one.

Not everyone on this forum is trying to be a world class runner. Some of us like other activities too.
I ran the 800m in college with a PR of 1:54. After graduating, I was bored with running and wanted to try something new. My brother got me into weightlifting and deadlifting. After 3 years of deadlifting and gaining weight (78KG -> 90KG) I have a deadlift PR of 272.5 KG (600lbs).
I think I am at my max for my current weight. If I wanted to improve my deadlift I think I would need to gain 5 -10KG.
Running lots of miles is definitely counterproductive to improving your deadlift.

No, Ir's not. And you are nowhere near your max for your weight. Your max should be closer to 700-800 easily.
No, it's not*

Running lots of miles is counterproductive to just about anything involving explosiveness or max strength efforts...

I routinely deadlift >400lbs.
What does a 400lbs deadlift convert to for women? I'm sure mine isn't close but my DL PR is 240lbs.

No, it's not. It's only counter productive if it takes away from the time you have to lift. But there's nothing directly counterproductive about the two.
I love deadlifting, my favorite exercise. Not particularly good at it, but I've done 465 at 200 lbs. I usually do higher rep stuff. 315 for 50, etc. I believe runners would get a lot of benefit from learning to deadlift properly and doing it once or twice a week. It's the only strength work you would need if you didn't like doing strength work.

This is true, but runners don't need to be able to deadlift 400 lbs. At a certain point you have to figure that enough is enough and get back to running.
This is LRC. Everyone here runs a 2:10 marathon, bench presses 500 lbs, scored a perfect SAT, and is a millionaire.

I got these 2 things covered at least.
I used to do do 445 but find that it bulks up my lower back so that it felt like I was running with a slab of bacon strapped to my lower back.
I don't deadlift anymore due to a generally deteriorated lower back from other reasons.
Perhaps. I am about 1.92M tall so the bar has a long way to go.
I tried running 30 mpw (I know that is not a lot) and my deadlift suffered. My C&J also suffered. My front squat and back squat felt the same. Just my experiences.
Heck, I'm not even sure what a deadlift is.
