Where does most of the running power come from? The Hammies or Quads? I know its overall legs, but What needs more attention?

Hams! glutes!
Quads do 3x LESS work.
So focus a lot on hip extensors (glutes, hams)

hams and glutes, as well as the hip complex. successful sprint mechanics revolve around triple extension or the hip, knee, and ankle...hamstrings are a big factor in hip extension, as are the glutes.

That was my attempt at a suttle suggestion to DTF that perhaps he should go out for a jog...Originally Posted by Apachhe2

You whip your leg out with the hams, and push it out with your quads. Glutes work the entire time. Work both. I'd say focus on lunges and squats. Closest thing to walking/running. Hams are important because so any people forget them.
If you need me, I'll be under 460+ pounds. If you find me on the floor, please get the weight off of me.
A curl works your arms.... not your back.
Shut up and eat!
