Since I am done long distance running training ( just ran a 10 mile race today) I am going to not run as much and focus only on SL as my main exercise BUT it will seem too easy/simple to only life 3x a week for under an hour !

    along with SL, I'm also doing crossfit minimum once, sometimes twice a week. It may be a metcon, or it may be lifting. So I can qualify for more than just the stronglifts program.

    As soon as it gets heavy, you won't think that!

    3x/week is really all you need for strength training with weights - Here is a site you can use that gives you other options as well though:

    Yeah, as it gets heavy, it's not so easy. Rest is important.

    If you want to add in light cardio on a couple of off days though, that's probably fine.
