If you like cardio then start up Riding for Resilience!! Can do a quick blast on a bike 🚲 to get the heart pumping and it's next to no impact. I love running too but I'm in a similar boat to you that I don't think my body can sustain it without too much damage. Cycling, and swimming for that matter, have been excellent substitutes although not as convenient as just whacking on some shoes and heading out the door.
Ah that's unfortunate! Bike theft is rife. It's a great in to fitness though and you don't need lycra and fancy clipless pedals to get started. You down on a wait list for the shoulder?
Yeah it’s real bad in Canberra. The bike was really nice too and which means I can’t go back to riding cheap ones lol! Not yet, had the MRI and the surgeon said let him know. But only just recovered from my nose reconstruction so keen to wait a bit as the recovery is long.
Nice one Ben, I too have fitness goals as have higher HRV by improve my sleep time & maintain good resting HR, 3 weight session. thinking to have one recovery session as you mentioned in this article.
But one question, I thought running more will improve fitness, why you think running more wont increase your fitness or drain your energy ?
Ive loved having HRV as a health indicator. It tells me Im run down when I wouldn't otherwise think I was. When my emotions are out of balance my HRV is also out of balance.
Awesome to see lifting more as a goal. A lot of runners need to lift more and run less 👌👏.

Keen but my nice bike got stolen and I need my shoulder fixed before I start swimming again

Law of diminishing returns
Great goals Ben!

Agreed but running is such an easy way to get endorphins and the heart rate up. No gym or equipment needed. Just shoes!
Body weight exercises count as resistance training :) Can get creative with items around the home as weights too haha.
