i woud like to strengthen my legs by incoporating weight training also.

do those low weight/high rep leg sessions.  get plenty of stretching in before, during, after, then way after.  make sure that any soreness will not interfere on your runs.  i am always fighting my leg routine with my runs and bike as far as soreness is concerned.  its a delicate balance.  of course i have been doing high weight/low rep - but this must change.

if soreness creeps in, either lower your weight or reps or both.  1-2 days should be plenty for benefits.  from your schedule, at least try to have a day off from both.  either do weights once a week or combine one of your 2 sessions with a light run day for example
