Sounds like you need to cut out the 1.5 miles before lifting, and do some sprints or HIIT as the cardio to supplement your lifting. And whatever program you end up doing, make sure you squat, deadlift, bench every week. Stronglifts 5x5 is a good program for beginners, I believe

True, there is no secret lift.

Olympic style lifts are still the best. You can literally shape yur body anyway you want with the standard lifts.

You HAVE TO change sets/reps and orders/intensity to shock your muscles though.

Stronglifts 5x5

That's the name of the program I was doing at one point before I lost motivation

I think it was the weight increase interval that had me scratching my head. I really need to focus on my 1.5 mile run for the time being because I have my military PT test coming up soon and want to make sure I can ace it. i ran it last year in 11:05, so I want to keep at that pace or improve on it. I will definitely be putting in some Sprints afterwards though.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but you really should get started on your own, by conducting your own research, before asking for generic help getting in shape. If you don't care enough to Google search no serious lifter is going to give you the time of day.
