I still run. But I walk too. And I now don't feel like I'm messing up any sort of pace metric when my run becomes a walk or a phone call or I drop and do 30 pushups every kilometer, etc. It led to a large increase of daily activity. It's like how I became a home cook when I bought my first bluetooth headphones. Suddenly I could comfortably listen to Youtube debates and podcasts and audiobooks, needed something to do with my hands while listening to them, and ended up learning to enjoy spending time in the kitchen. It's funny how little changes can have a large impact on your daily life.
