    starting strength or stronglifts 5x5. Ditch cardio. Eat more.

    This or 5/3/1 is another good program. You're try to gain muscle mass so the cardio is counter productive to your goals. Eat at a moderate calorie surplus gain some muscle (and sadly some fat too) and then do a cut before summertime. Your program at the moment is pretty rigorous and unnecessary. You'll get much better results sticking to a modest program 3-5 times a week.
    Vouch for 5/3/1, doing it now and seeing some good gains

    Wow, guys! Thanks for all the replies!

    I just woke up, so that's why I haven't replied.

    eheh. Funny thing. I can't cut before summertime because it is summertime (ahhhhhh!)
    I'm in Australia and the heat's just starting - I'll increase my eating for now and and decrease running and make it HIIT training

    at your age you need to grow and maximise the gains that you can make now. I'd be eating at a moderate surplus of around 10-15% above maintenance and lift heavy things. (big compound movements)

    You should be bulking for the majority of the year and just do short term cuts when required. For me I do this when I get close to 15% body fat.
