learning Periodization

Hi!
I am new in forums, but not in fitness. I have been trainning regulary for almost seven years now. I feel as if my progress has definetly stopped. Perhaps I have been doing the same excercises for too long -one day cardio,one day weighs-. In my cardio days, I usually run for an hour or take a spinning class. The gim days I always do the same full upper body routine.
I have heart something about the benefits of periodization and would like to incorporate it to my routines (Always keeping in mind my philosopy 'one day cardio, one day gym'). Could you give some advise?
I am 42 years old, 1. 73 m tall, 70 kg. I train 5 days/week.

Thanks a lot

Good question!!

the think is that... I don't really know.... I supose I want to get the most of my trainning time: Improve (or at least don't loose) my running skills (which are quite poors) and to look as strong and well builded as possible, at the same time.
