Running and Weight lifting advice please

I am balancing the two as well. It is absolutely not easy - very delicate balance.

I prioritize the running b/c that's my preference, so I lift only 2 days per week for maybe 20-30 minutes, sometimes a 3rd very brief session, and after an adjustment period of a few months, I have found that it doesn't interfere too much with the running workouts. I run 5-6 times per week, total weekly mileage of about 35-50. If I ran less, I know I could lift more and progress faster with my strength, but then my running would progress more slowly. It's a choice.

I've found that I really need to get my 8+ hours of sleep to sustain this schedule. I also need to eat really nutrient-rich foods (lots of veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains, high quality meat/fish/poultry, etc.). I can eat at a mild deficit but not try to cut more than 250-500 calories per day, and any kind of intermittent fasting is out for me too. I also need one full day per week of NO workouts - no lifting, no running. This means that I'm running on my 2 lifting days too in a second session.

Finally I have learned I need to listen to my body and try to honestly discriminate between soreness that signals an injury in the works versus fatigue that can be worked through, and then take an extra day off, or even two, if I can tell that an injury is brewing, even if it's messes up my plan for the week.
