Running...

How much is too much?

Good for the heart, bad for the gains?

>how much running do you do?

I did XC during high school and have kept at it so I usually run 3-8 miles on my rest day. If the weather sucks then usually 45-60 minutes of kettlebell stuff. I'm much older than when I ran competitively so doing it daily would kill my knees but once a week is fine.

>bad for the gains?
Running is only bad for gains if you do it before lifting, due to being tired out and causing you to lift less.
No, running doesn't destroy/eat/whatever muscle tissue.

Is 30min every other day too much?

Total 3 days a week about 8-9 miles a week

you're running too much if you start getting shinsplints or it starts being painful (you will get some pain from time to time if you run enough but you would know if it's either you being a pussy or if the pain is actually you fucking yourself up)

running kills gains is a meme just eat a bit more to make up for it and having good cardio is super useful

are you running outdoors, indoors or on a treadmill?

For cardio general rule is half hour to an hour on non lifting days or you could do HIIT/sprints and cut the time investment in half while nearly doubling the metabolic gains.

Outdoors

Around a park mostly some pretty good elevation changes but nothing too hard...just 30 min of jogging and running

Thats fine, just make sure you're using proper form. Heel strikes can fuck your hips and knees up over time so take it easy until you're comfortable.
