You don't need one per se either, but combined with what I wrote, great bang for the $$$$.

I am looking to build a routine that is aimed at academy preparation. Here are my current stats/quazi routine; 6'1, 215, athletic build. I have good muscle structure from bulking up a few years ago, but now it's somewhat covered by a softer outer layer (haha) and I want to lean out and have functional strength for lots of running and floor exercises in the academy.
Currently- I try and run 3X a week and have hit a wall at 3 miles at about 8-9minute mile. 2-3 sets of pushups, sit-ups and pull-ups, each night (20-25 each set, except for pull ups).
I would like to start mixing in High Intensity work outs in my routine. Also, stadium stairs, wind sprints and hill climbs.
Not sure what else to put, trying to keep it short. I would like to work out 5-6days a week and get the most results for my time (as does anyone I guess)
Thanks in advance for the help.

Weight training will improve everything, even your running, recent studies have proven that. However, do mainly compound movements with little rest in between sets, or a functional movment. For example, bench press, then pull-up, crunchs, then a minute sprint all in sucession. Then take only a minute or so and repeat that sequence. But weights combined with functional movments and cardio is best!!!! For an academy survival body, this is coming from a top performer in the academy physically.

Check out rosstraining.com
Ross' book Infinite Intensity is great. He gives you a great 50-day program in addition to priceless knowledge. You can order it from his site for $25 I believe. I have used it to prepare for an academy and it works! Plus, afterwards you can still use his knowledge to continue lifetime fitness.
