I want to start doing a full body workout with weights three days a week and jogging on alternating days of the week for three days. Is this going to give my legs enough recovery time? If not, what would be the best way to get both my cardio and strength training?
The answer to your question is it depends upon what you are doing in your full body routine and how much time you intend to spend running.
Clearly if you work your legs hard in the workout and again with running, then it will be an issue, but if you keep your jogging down to something reasonably gentle and short then it will be fine.
There are some more specific things but you’ve not indicated what your aims are so it’s impossible to advise further than that.
At the end of the day you are going to have to learn to listen to your body – it will tell you if you are overtraining.
