How many of you both run and strength train in a given week?

I’m currently doing strength training 3x a week, running 4x a week. Mondays are the only days where I have both scheduled. I’m curious for those of you that do both, what kind of strength training do you do, and do you run first or lift first?

    I run every day (every second day is only a short recovery jog), and work out 5 times per week: 2 x upper, 2 x core and 1 x legs. All focused on improving my running and reducing injury potential, so only calisthenics, no weight training. I don’t do workouts the day before and the day of my long run. It’s doable, once you find you routine and have separate deloading weeks for running and workouts.

      I’m also trying to figure out how to not lift the day before my long runs. I usually do Saturday long runs, lift Friday and speed work Thursdays. I might try to lift light Thursdays and see how that goes
