Thought I would record my training plan right now for getting ready for my races. I could use some help fine tuning it if anyone wants to pitch in I'd appreciate the help.
Monday - Lift Arms (Bi's, Tri's, Forearms) - Run 3 miles jog pace - Ab Ripper X(P90X)
Tuesday - Race Pace day - Run 5k at race pace
Wednesday - Lift Back/Shoulders - Run 3 miles jog pace - Ab Ripper X
Thursday - Distance Day - Run 6+ miles at jog pace
Friday - Lift Chest - Run 3 miles jog pace - Ab Ripper X
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - Rest/Ab Ripper X
Ab Ripper is done every other day so it will be M W F Sun one week then TUES THUR SAT the next, etc etc.
Thinking about switching my rest days from Saturday/Sunday to Tuesday/Sunday. Any thoughts? Also muscle grouping for lift days will change every month to keep my body guessing.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Your plan really looks good. Other race day plans I have seen put rest days farther apart like a Wed/Sat or Tues/Fri. Not sure if you want to do that to give your muscles time to relax in between as this may throw off your strength training days. As an alternate, you could also throw in tempo runs (starting out at jog pace for first mile then do race day mileage for either a designated time or distance then back to jog pace for cool down). I just recently read about that and am working on that myself. But, this looks reasonable to me. You could just tweak as you go along depending on how your body responds to it.
