yes. I don't really like training without one. I'm a big fan of pushing past failure (ie intensity), so I cant really do that without one. On the days we cant sync up I tend to use more machines w/bands and use different intensity techniques like rest/pause, or drop sets.

Obviously, I'd like the ratio of muscle to fat gained to be as high as possible.

All your doing is running and push-ups? And you want to gain 10lbs of muscle off that? Not sure if serious..
I can't even begin to answer your question because pushups and running is not giving your body a reason (ie stressor) to increase its muscle mass. If anything, it will want to decrease it in order to be more efficient at running 5 miles.
