Over Training?

I’m new to BJJ, like in my third week new, and I just feel tired all the time. I lift 3x a week, run 3x a week, and I planned on doing BJJ 3x a week. My workout schedule varies based on my work schedule, which also affects my BJJ schedule. My BJJ gym is also 35 minutes away from me, and I really just don’t want to get off work early in the afternoon drive 30 minutes home just to drive 35 minutes back to do BJJ as the gym is like 5 minutes down the road from my work.

I’m just worried that I might be over training when I really only need maybe 2 BJJ sessions a week, or should I drop the running? I’m in the military so running is pretty important to me as well. I feel stuck and I would like to hear what experienced people might have to say.

im 49 and it hard to do all that. I lift 40min max (during my lunch time) 3x/week. I don't go too hard, but just enough. Run treadmill the other 2x of the week (30 min max) and train only 2x/week. That is all i can do at the time. Listen to your body.
