Moderation and compromise between endurance and strength is best.
Training for niche specific sports is not good for the body. Powerlifters look like crap. Distance runners look like crap.
What do you think a good set of goals would be to produce the ideal body?

I keep forgetting the "less than" symbol cuts off posts.
Shooting for
Sub 20 5k and trying to maintain a minimum 315/225/365 squat/bench/dead - at almost 50.
I still look like crap aesthetically and can't figure out how to use a message board apparently :(
I personally want:
Sub 16 5K, 165-185 max bench. Though, I care more about where my power clean is at, I would like to be able rep 155.
ha ha "ideal body: V-taper, 18:30 5K, 200 lb max bench press." This is more or less where I'm at right now and I can tell you that it definitely does not coincide with having an "ideal body."

missed the V-taper part. I don't know what that means. Maybe it's critical.
I'm 49 and run low 17's 5K and benched 210 earlier this year. Above average, but unfortunately I'm nothing impressive to look at.
Why focus on bench? If you’re going to hit chest at all it should be incline dumbbell. It recruits more muscle fibers than flat Bench.
Depending on body weight 200 is kind of an odd arbitrary goal. Shoot for 2 plates a side if you’re hellbent on bench.

It’s where one has broad shoulders and a skinny waist, where it looks like a V.
Single range motions are not the answer to achieve said V tapper by any means. If OP really wants a V tapper he needs to focus on widening back chest and shoulders with volume not strength training.
