As usual I decided to switch it up today and instead of running after my ST, I would do intervals in between. I have done this before several times and I am always surprised at the level of intensity it brings.  I did not do any HIIT or sprints this time. Instead I kept my running slow and steady but after lifting each interval it still provided quite a challenge!!
