Strength? Endurance? How Are You Combining?

I'm not as consistent as I should be endurance/aerobic work right now as I'm focused on bringing my squat numbers up, but generally:

*barbell, bodyweight, band work 3-5x/week
*once a week = 16kg kettlebell snatches for 30-60mins (one set, switching hands on the minute, 10 rpm, occasionally up to 20rpm, or as low as 6rpm if HR is too high)
*once in a while = 30-60 mins of loaded carries pacing the backyard w. 40lb training bag (shoulder carry, fireman carry, head carry)

I use circuits in training from time to time. Circuits for me are generally 20-60mins long. Here's an example of a 60min circuit that I might do:
*Squat 225lb x 5 @ 1min
*10 mins KB Snatch 16kg (10rpm, switch hands on the min)
*1 min rest
x 5
 
Gosh, you all are an impressive group!!!

I do modified Giant 3x/week for max 23 min. ~60 presses /side.
2x - OS & 2HSWINGS. Currently 75 swings/5 min (Tim Ferriss protocol)
Walks 2-5 times

3 total-body strength-based sessions/week
2-3 All-Terrain Conditioning sessions (TTT)

I've found this to be the best schedule for me:

Mon: Total-body strength circuit
Tues: A+A-style session
Wed: Total-body strength circuit
Thurs: Rest
Fri: Total-body strength circuit
Sat: A+A-style session
Sun: Rest

It gives me everything I need/want: strength, muscle, conditioning, power, endurance, etc.
 
2 week block of EES, 2 week block of the LCCJ block from ROTK. I have also thrown in Q&D on variation days in LCCJ block and on select days when I feel very good on EES blocks.

Occasional rucking during the weeks when I have time.
 
This is something I'm currently trying to figure out. I've spent a good amount of my life avoiding any sort of long-distance running. I love sprints but for my health and general well-being, I need to put some effort into moving more. My current plan is to..

M - AM Lift, PM LISS
T - AM Lift
W - AXE, PM LISS
Th - AM LIFT
F - AM LIFT, PM LISS

With my schedule and general situation, this feels like a good place to start for me.
 
About to try (for the next six weeks)
Mon/Tues - PTTP (modified to include 3 movements, Sumo DL, Zercher Sqt, Floor Presses)
Wed - AXE (swings, or snatch & sprints)
Thur/Fri - PTTP (same as mon/tue)
Sat - AXE (same as wed)
Sun - REST

Adding the 3rd movement to PTTP, I'm planning on the 4 days a week, instead of 5. In order to get some pulling, I'll run through the Russian Chins / Dips / Hanging Leg Raise protocol (3 days a week)
 
1. I do an AMRAP set at the end of my main lift session as part of 5-3-1.

2. I also do supersets sometimes with my accessory work.

3. I also do targeted cardio at least twice a week: I usually get in 2,000 yards of swimming in 2 days a week, and when it's nice enough outside I go mountain biking (living in Colorado it's sort of obligatory that you have to either mountain bike or ski/snowboard).

4. Horizontal cardio ;)
