  Depending on level of normal "other" training I would say if you are training in two disciplines then two strength sessions per week, which would give you perhaps six sessions in total and one full rest day
  
  
  
  Squats (front / back / cycle)
  
  Dead lifts
  
  Barbell lunge
  
  Box jumps
  
  Push Press
  
  Bench
  
  Chin / Pull Ups
  
  
  
  Good supplement in this months Outdoor Fitness magazine otherwise I would read up/google CrossFit Endurance, which I think is great
  
  
  
  Sets and reps - probably 3 sets 5 reps for strength - I have a very detailed spreadsheet at home but I'm away at the mo so can't reference it but that should be safe. You're aiming to fail on the fifth rep of every set if you're not then up the weight and see how the next set goes.... Once you have you're baseline dialled in, up your weight by no more than a couple of lbs per week (just like 10% rule in lsr)
  
  
  
  Hope this helps
