However, why do you focus so much on the upper body exercises. You have 4 vs. 2 for the lower body. Isn't so much strength work in the upperbody going to lead to hypertrophy? Even if there's no hypertrophy, shouldn't you be focusing more on the lower body (for running specificity)? Could I substitute pull-ups for lat pulldown and shoulder press?

That's actually not much upper body work. There's a pushing motion in the horizontal plane, a pushing motion in the vertical plane, and then pulling motions in both planes. That's about as minimal as you can get while still developing your entire body (which you have to do - can't ignore the upper body).

As for whether there should be more leg work, remember that this workout is in the context of there being a plyo workout later that week, as well as you running every day. If you overdo it with the weights, your running will suffer.
