Adam:

Your English is excellent.

Max has the right idea: Do not reduce your aerobic base training.  I will only add a few comments.  Doing most of your running uphill, on rough trails, and with a weight vest will not make you faster. Get rid of the weight vest on your runs. Running with a weight vest has a high injury risk and will make you slower.  You might want to read this https://evokeendurance.com/why-even-ultra-runners-need-speed-work/  Running fast is a special kind of strength training. I would replace one of your general strength sessions with hill sprints and add strides to your Thursday gym cardio.
