I know people who are healing from chronic injuries from years of sprinting and weightlifting. ;-) Everything in moderation.

Especially weightlifting.

It boils down to this, any workout you do, you really have to do it properly. As well as, like you said, in moderation. Any reputable physical trainer or therapist will tell you that recovery days are critical. (And if a physical trainer tells you that you can do all this weightlifting or distance running without recovery days, then that's your clue that they are probably not reputable.)
