How many of you both run and strength train in a given week?

I'm currently doing strength training 3x a week, running 4x a week. Mondays are the only days where I have both scheduled. I'm curious for those of you that do both, what kind of strength training do you do, and do you run first or lift first?

I mix running and cycling 7 days a week, 30-45 min each day. I do strength 4-6 days a week, 15-30 min each day moving between upper body, lower body, core, body weight, etc. The strength schedule dictates what I do for cardio, for example I’ll typically target a run and legs the same day knowing the next 1-2 days I’ll need to bike to recover my legs.

I always do cardio first, no reason why, just started doing it that way and it’s been working for me so I’m not inclined to change it.

The only exception is I’ll try and do a boot camp style workout 1-2x a week for 45-60 minutes which mixes my strength and cardio.
