How do to a hybrid program

I have p90x and would like to do it but I'm also doing C25K to train for my first 5K. I was wondering if I could do a p90x-C25K hybrid.... but I'm not sure how to set it up. Weeks 1-3 of p90x look like this (as I'm sure a lot of you already know)
Day 1 – Chest and Back, plus Ab Ripper X
Day 2 – Plyometrics
Day 3 – Shoulders and Arms, Ab Ripper X
Day 4 – Yoga X
Day 5 – Legs and Back, Ab Ripper X
Day 6 – Kenpo X
Day 7 – Rest or X Stretch
So do you think it would be ok for me to just do the strength/weight days and run on the other 3 days? So MY weeks 1-3 would look like:
Day 1 – Chest and Back, plus Ab Ripper X
Day 2 – C25K
Day 3 – Shoulders and Arms, Ab Ripper X
Day 4 – C25K
Day 5 – Legs and Back, Ab Ripper X
Day 6 – C25K
Day 7 – Rest or X Stretch
Does that look ok? Or should I still do the Plyo, Kenpo, and Yoga?

I think your schedule looks pretty good
If you look at the other P90X hybrid programs (on beachbody's web site) they tend to keep the strength and use the cardio from other programs, so I think you've got it right. I would definitely do the X Stretch on your rest day to keep you flexible. Let us know how it goes! 0 -
Thanks!

You would run on your cardio days (Kenpo, Plyo) & I would still do yoga (it should help keep your muscles lenghtened and work deep into them to help your running endurance). You could probably cut Ab Ripper back to 2 days and, if you really want the 3rd running day, cut out Legs and Back altogether. It'll be pretty redundant with the work you're giving them in running and it's a 2nd back workout.
