so are you slow or are you weak...?

Sir,
My problem is neither speed nor weakness, its more of an endurance problem. My 2 mile run time is about 13:30 but once I'm beyond around 3 and a half miles I just die, I have a feeling it's just a need to get more mileage in.I have the same problem with rucking, once I'm beyond 6 or 7 miles I just hit a wall.
That's why I would consider it my weak point. I was asking the question from an endurance perspective, ie would it help my endurance more to lift then run because of the energy expended lifting qould make the run harder, or does it make more sense to run then lift a little later.
I still have at least a year before I plan on shipping out so there's plenty of time to rectify the situation. Thanks for the advice on the spilt workouts, I'll try those until classes start and see how they help.
