What do you do to keep fit/athletic outside of running?

Unfortunately, nothing at the moment. My plan is to get back in the gym now that my 14 year old just got a membership. 1 month of weights makes a noticeable difference on my frame even if it’s only 3-5 lbs.

Even a few weeks of pushups and pull-ups can make a difference.

As for more cross training type stuff, I quit tennis when I rolled my ankle before a big race (recurring injury from college). I used to be respectable at soccer, tennis and basketball. 20 years later I’m pretty bad at all of them.

I’m tough to beat in table tennis, though.

Oh, I forgot I did a Murph worjout a few months ago. Killer workout, but I was sore for 5 days since I didn’t do much training. I may try to work my way back up to that.

I ride a road bike and sometimes a mtn. bike.

Eat significantly less, more protein and fiber. Small meals, well separated out. This and lifting/ or body strength work is key, will reduce body fat. Aim for every day when you wake up. Run/bike at least 30 minutes to ensure hearth health. If you can’t do either, walk at a moderate pace.

I try to get to the gym 3x/week. I don't lift very heavy, but I do lift hard. In summer, I do a 17 mile out/back on my bike for time a couple of times a week.

At home, I have standing desk with a walking pad and a mini stepper. I switch back and forth depending on what's injured that week.

Prior to a big race, everything gets reduced dramatically for a week or two.

Mtn biking is the bees knees. Major adrenaline rush and easy way to get a great full body workout.

3 years ago I jumped back into pickup basketball. I ended up with tendonitis and haven't run or played basketball since. Mountain biking is fun, but it is all I can do now.

I haven't been able to run for decades. I typically walk ~80km/wk (some weeks more like 100), but most of that is just transportation, not training--except, I suppose, that I'm carrying a heavyish bag in either hand for a majority of those miles.

I typically lift a couple times a week and get 2-4 walking "workouts" in, and precede both activities with a rather lengthy warmup that includes range-of-motion work for neck, shoulders, midsection, and ankles. I also do a limited amount of core work.

Kayaking!

-Run 3-4 days per week (outside or treadmill if the weather sucks). This is usually at 5 AM.

-Stationary bike at least 2-3 times per week while watching TV.

-Lift 3 days per week on he days I don’t run. Again, at 5 AM.

-Walk the dog 30-60 minutes at a very brisk pace (because my dog likes to walk fast) almost every night.

It adds up to a lot.

To accomplish this, I had to buy everything I need to have in my house, because do not have time to go to the gym. It was worth every penny.

I do core and a full body strength routine three days a week. I like to mix it up where you may lift upper body one day and do lower body plyos. Then the next lift lower and med ball upper. Nothing crazy.

well, what are your goals? Are you trying to lose weight and/or build muscle (aka, body recomposition), or just have better cardiac health?
It was explained to me that the max benefit for cardio exercise is achieved at 25 minutes, 3x per week. Anything over that is just gravy, but you've already done your part to improve heart health with that minimal amount.

If you want to lose weight, you should lift weights and walk. Work up to your min cardio requirement (on the elliptical or something if you don't like running). Weight loss is mostly what you eat though.

Where did you get the 3 x 25 minutes from? I’ve read from several sources that maximum aerobic benefits top out at about 45 minutes in a single session.

I’ll second this.

I’m primarily a cyclist so running is what I sometimes do to cross train. It all depends on the week. Sometimes I’ll run 4 x a week about 5-6 miles at a time. When I’m biking a lot I’ll usually only run a few times a week and it’s not a lot - maybe a 2-3 miles and it’s usually to warm up for a ride or as a shake out after a long ride.

I ride road, mountain bike, cyclocross, and some track. I also ride motocross. I like to hike, water ski, downhill ski and occasionally play pickup basketball. I lift weights about 3 times a week while doing other activities. In the winter it’s more like 5-6 times per week.

Motocross, if you have easy access to trails, is highly recommended. It’s a huge adrenaline rush and is a total body workout. Negatives, of course, is the $ for a good motocross bike and the protective gear. Also, if you don’t have nearby trails you need to have a way to get your bike to the trails. Enduro bikes can be ridden on the street sometimes. I ride a Suzuki RM250 and it’s not street legal.

Run 5-6x per week. Coach baseball-2 practices and 1 games per week 11 months out of the year. Coach cross country in Fall-warmup and cooldown with team in addition to my am runs. Yard work, walks with wife, house maintenance. Every time I stop for water on runs I do 25 push-ups. Summers off so I get to surf with son a couple days a week. Mix in some core work during TV time. Basically, keep moving when I can.
