Sports: Strength Training: Endurance Training - Key Points to Remember When Mixing Strength and Endurance

It is advised not to do heavy strength training and heavy endurance training (running) simultaneously.  However, if you do plan to do intense lifting and intense running, plan to do both intense activities on the same day.  This allows you to keep rest days as such.  Keep in mind that delayed onset muscle soreness can have a negative affect on training for days after intense lifting. 

Take away principle is remember what sport you are training for.  Multi-joint lifts more closely mimic endurance activities.  The relevance of single-joint isolation or non-multi-joint exercises may depend on the endurance activity you are engaging in or rehabilitation.
