One more thing you can add to your training is rucking (training with weighted back pack). It should include both strength and cardio training. By adjusting the weight in your ruck you control the intensity of your workouts. Just make sure you don’t have any medical conditions/limitations that would limit the use of a weighted ruck on your back.
