How many times a week should I do weight training on top of running everyday?

I don’t want to stop running because I enjoy it, however I want to include some weight training exercises into my regiment. I know I can reduce my mileage on my weight days but how often should I do weight training? Thanks! =)

For the weightlifting exercising too much as you do it every other day for the weightlifting exercising too much as you want just be allowed to break anything hope.
Standard recommendations to build strength would be three days a week. To maintain gained strength you need to lift two days a week. Make sure to have a day off from weight training between days on.
