I`m not sure I understood your running routine. How long is it exactly? In any case I think you do too much high intensity work -also thinking of the spinning -and with your resting HR that can`t be good.
Also your BJJ class is 2,5 hours? That`s pretty long for one session, and you seem to be doing plenty of conditioning there too. You may be overdoing it. You could always try to cut down your morning workouts and see if your condition improves.
When you work on high volume high intensity you may find you actually get weaker, it`s when you slow down afterwards and give your body time to fully recover that you see improvements. So try to dial in a deload week once in a while - I personally have an easy week every 3-4 hard ones.

the 90 was a guess I just took my HR sitting here (ive been idle for an hour or so) and its 80, is that still too high? im not sure what the optimal is.
and I didnt explain the running very well, basically I sprint a quarter of the track, then jog a quarter, then sprint a quarter, then jog a quarter. Usually Ill do that for a mile each morning (4 laps at this track)
then..... repeat. hope I explained that right.........
