Okay, so I'm a little sick of not being able to breathe after 20 minutes of light jogging. I want to build endurance, but still gain strength. I know circuit training is probably the best for this, but is there an alternative. I find it weird to do an exercise for 10 reps and then hurry off to another one for 10 exercises. For example, right now I'm still sticking with push/pull days, with cardio on the off days. So would it be good to maybe lower my weight (50/60% of max raised every week), raise the sets (4 or 5), and just have a lower rest time. Then do different cardio for an hour on the off days? Would that help me accomplish my endurance goal but still grow strength? If not, do I have to do full body circuit training, or can I do split (push/pull/legs). Please help, I'm getting annoyed theres no real good info anywhere else!!!! Thanks.

What you really need here is to build up you aerobic stregnth with cardio.
Without , you are not getting enough oxygen to supply your blood and will even make you more tired when doing the weight training.
do a full body workout 3x a week, and do your cardi on off days. Use the cardio as a warm up (low intensity, about 55% of your max) and cool down.
Not knowing your age it is pretty hard to help you more.
