Is my strength training and cardio too much?

How long have you been doing this routine? and how long do you intend to do it for? and at what intensity? In short, i think it sounds a lot and over time im sure you will find it hard to keep it up with seeing signs of overtraining. I think its perfectly ok to do this much for short periods of time to help break plateaus.

It is suggested that you give yourself 2 whole days off before you train the same body part again.........and in a study i did, it was shown that exercise induced muscle damage was elevated 168 hours after a session. Bare this in mind when putting together your routine and importantly listen to you body, it will tell you if you need a rest!

*until a 168 hours after a session

I train chest/tris mon, back/bi's tue, shoulders thur and legs fri.

always rest sat and sun.

I have one word you should investigate - "periodization" - and especially the work of my former professor and trainer of multiple Olympic medalists, Tudor Bompa.

Many Olympic athletes do the same volume of exercise as you describe and many do much more and continue to improve - of course, part of the reason that they are Olympic athletes is that they have great genetics and are usually less likely to overtrain than normal mortals.

It's impossible to make a proper diagnosis and recommendations without sitting down with you but it's safe to say that the steady state cardio session is useless for improving your conditioning considering your current volume of training, so you can safely drop that.

Anyhow, getting back to periodization, you may benefit from concentrating on weights for several weeks and doing a little less volume and intensity in the cardio and then switching to going hard on the cardio and easier on the weights. This will probably give you better long-term results, reduce risk of injury or overtraining syndrome and you can time the different types of training to coincide with competitions, or getting lean for the summer or whatever.

Sorry, some of that last answer got cut off and I've now finished it...

ok cheers.

i enjoy long distance running events which i compete in quite often. so 10k and half marathon distances.

the reason i do the resistance is to avoid having the build of a long distance runner and like the cardio i really enjoy.

difficult finding the balance to having a half decent shape and being physically fit.

I can totally understand your frustration. I find this as my main focus is football, and I always struggle to fit in every session I personally enjoy aswell but I think the best for you will be to concentrate on periodization as Mark mentioned. It allows you to progressively cycle various parts of your training programme during a specific period of time.
