Actually it would be better to do BOTH. Running is great but hard on the body especially for beginners. Instead of running daily or twice a day as some people do it's much better to let the body rest a day inbetween, so I find alternating works best that way you get the consistent calorie burn most days of the week without over taxing the body.
We are also taught in Heart rate zone training that training at max isn't always best. Again too much recovery time if your always trying to train in zone 5a or whatever.
