I agree with what I've read in response here, quality over quantity and cardio. You run a lot, but maybe you should mix up your cardio a bit. I also find that supersets work for abs, what I do is lie on the ground and do the following without breaks in between exercises. Leg raises until failure (usually 50 or so), then I go straight in to bent knee leg raises (easier to do so you can continue raising) until failure (usually about 50) then I sit up on my rear end and I continue without stopping in to a sit up leaning towards my left knee, then I do one in the middle, then I do 2 to the right, then I do 2 in the middle, then 3 to the left, 3 in the middle, etc etc, always adding one when I get to the side and doing that same amount in the middle. I do this until failure, but usually by the time I get to 10 my stomache is crying out in pain. I do this circut about 3 times, usually 4 times on Sundays. It works really well for me.
