    I'm hoping to incorporate long distance running with strength training as well and my schedule is hopefully going to look like this:

    Monday - 6 miles and lift - upper body
    Tuesday - 20-60 cross train and lift - lower body
    Wednesday - 8 miles
    Thursday - 20-60 cross train and lift - upper body
    Friday - Long run (8-10-10-12 Miles)
    Saturday - Rest/walk the dog
    Sunday - 20-60 cross train and lift - lower body

    I'll adjust if needed but hopefully the cross training will be enough to keep me maintaining my mileage with out always having to be running.

    Is that 20-60 cross training in minutes? 20-60 Minutes?
