Running before lifting?

[JohnnyO]

Would a mild distance run (3-5 miles) right before a workout be very detrimental? It's not a huge distance but it would be a bit tiring. Would this decrease my ability to lift weights after?

cardio before weights is not a good idea.

it would be best do run on a non-training day or after your work-out.

It depends on your goals. There are no absolutes in this case. The goals and training effect you seek will dictate what you should and should not be doing with regard to training sequence.
