I think we're talking about people who do both. I run a few races a year and run a ton and maintain my strength routine of ~8.5 hours per week. The pervasive belief is that strength training that much will negatively effect your running and I think that both blankall and I agree that as long as you don't gain fat then it will not.
I think he's alluding to bulking in his post. Ie people who want to gain muscle "overfeed", which would lead to gains in fat mass and reduce running performance. But there is no evidence that overfeeding increases gains in fat free mass other than water content in both sedentary and resistance trained individuals (

Edit: I lied. One of the studies in the review did look at strength differences and found no significant difference
