Even a 5 minute circuit of strength exercises pay dividends. Trim trails and outside exercise locations are good but don’t let their absence stop you. Press ups, sit ups, squats for 45 secs on- 15 sec rest and repeat.
Good job on starting!

That's HIIT training right?
I used to do this 20min workout regularly and it was fun: https://youtu.be/dS4uUM5UfOA?si=9iXmN3Vk-XDMIot7
But I would probably die in the first few minutes now, lol
When I feel better, I will definitely do some HIIT again :) I really like to be competitive with myself so integrating a clock into the workout works well for me.
I also tried to join the sub17 club in the past (5km in less than 17 minutes) but I always hit 19min +-5s

That is a HIIT protocol - but you don’t have to start at ‘super high intensisyy’ just ‘high enough intensity’
5km is a technical as well as physical challenge..
