But I would want to have separate days for running and weights. I've never enjoyed doing 2 things in the same day and I wouldn't be able to put my best effort into either a run or a lifting session if I had to do in the same day.
I've heard of people doing 3 days of running, and then on the off days, doing weights. How would this allow for enough recovery time for the legs though? How would you set this up? Thoughts?

Lifting: Are you still trying to
PR on the lower body lifts each workout?
Running: Sprints? SS? How long?
Another thing to consider: It is easier to overtrain when undereating than overeating...
