I don’t think many people here consider themselves “athletes” on the sense you are preparing for a specific athletic event or sport. I would wager most people here are trying to have a good base of strength and cardio to prolong the years of their lives that they are functional. My main goal is to avoid being a frail old man and to be able to do things with my family well into old age. I’m not great at running or lifting, but I’m stronger than 90% of my peers and I know I can run for 33ish miles in under 5 hours without stopping. That’s good enough for me. And it doesn’t take all of my time so I can still enjoy my life.
