That headache when you go cold turkey on it - an absolute bastard!
Think fitness motivation will be my issue. Do 10,000 steps the 3 days I go into the office, but I need to do more.

I’m largely off caffeine because I have a heart issue as well. I drink decaf coffee—only one glass in the morning. And I will indulge in a glass of tea every now and then. I mainly drink water and sparkling water. I was doing caffeine free, sugar free cola, but I stopped when I couldn’t find it during the pandemic.
I just added a probiotic to my vitamin regimen and that’s really helping my energy level.

Does anyone use fitness/compression sleeves? Any recommendations?

SBD knee sleeves for squats. Expensive but best in class. Probably not what you meant, though.

I’ve been incorporating 2-3 two minute jogs into my walks for the last couple of months to help elevate my heart rate. Not every walk, but at least twice a week. This morning i decided to see if I could get to a mile without taking a break. Made it to .66 before my legs were tired. Total was 1.26 miles with the one break. Was able to get my HR up to 174. I’m tired 
This is sort of how I started running. I did a progression of walk/runs until I built up to running the whole time. I would walk and run in timed intervals. As I progressed, the walking interval time decreased and the running interval time increased.I’ve been incorporating 2-3 two minute jogs into my walks for the last couple of months to help elevate my heart rate.

Also you don’t need to run really quickly. You can run a 12 minute mile, not everyone needs to be flying at sub 8/9 minutes. When I got back to full fitness after having Covid I was going really slow, almost felt like walking but not quite. It might make getting a full mile under your belt easier.I’ve been incorporating 2-3 two minute jogs into my walks for the last couple of months to help elevate my heart rate.

Oh, I’m slow…
I am about as fast as a herd of turtles. I give zero f*cks.

I've been on a 4 year plateau it seems?

I feel like this is inevitable depending on your metrics. Mine is powerlifting competitively at 165lbs as a mid 40's guy. I can go up in weight and break barriers. I can do wholly other things and make real progress immediately. I am pretty sure I have genetically maxed at this one thing, though.

Fair enough. I’m also slowly coming to grips with being a 40-something dude and realizing gains over 40 isn’t exactly as easy or drastic as gains in my 20s.
