It depends on how you feel and the intensity you're training at. As you know, high intensity cardio will put as much strain on your CNS as high intensity resistance training. One of my buddies that I ran with in high school went on to run in college and if I remember correctly, he hasn't missed a day of running in around...5 years, I think. For all I know, he hasn't missed a day in about 8 years at this point in time. He had low intensity days mixed in obviously. Based on how you're built & wired, you will adapt at a different rate than I would. So my advice is to fly by the seat of your pants.

I'm trying my best to remember the intensities that we trained at. I think we had two low intensity days (distance) each week and two high intensity days (HIIT/fartlek/speed for a total of around 5 miles) and a dynamic day (sprints/hills/short distance). We were supposed to do low intensity workouts on the weekends, but I never did because I was always doing some other sport. That might be a method that you would consider. it might be a good idea to match cardio intensity with resistance training intensity.
