Not lifting will cause you to lose much needed muscle for running. Cardio is a good way to lose muscle mass. If all you're doing is running, I promise that you will lose plenty. Ignoring weight training, whether using a gym or your own body weight, will lead to very painful consequences. A good example being shin splints.

You really only need muscle mass for sprinting.
Long distance runners are more efficient with smaller muscles (less energy expenditure per unit time).
