If you have the energy for that much cardio after wards then okay! But be warned, that kind of continuous routine is sure to burn you out in time. Personally, I get so worn out by the end of my lifting sessions that I barely have the juice for cardio. I usually only do 10-20 minutes of light cardio after lifting, and save the really intense stuff for the days in between.
