It's great you're using this as a vehicle to look deeper. In some places, there seems to persist this idea that people who work out are doing so for vain reasons, that it is completely about the physicality of the exercise. You are so obviously proving that idea wrong.

For the running, for the sets, do you stop completely in-between, or do you just switch to walking? Also, is this jogging, or sprints? Either way, you seem to be killling it.

    that it is completely about the physicality of the exercise

I'll tell you this: I enjoy my body being strong and capable; it's why I started it in the first place. That is also has the benefit of confidence, good posture (hell, do I walk with a straight back after each run) and overall better feeling of body and mind is great, and I'll take each of them without a second of thinking.

    For the running, for the sets, do you stop completely in-between, or do you just switch to walking? Also, is this jogging, or sprints?

I do a set amount of minutes of jogging and a set amount of walking, one after another, a few times (equal to amount of sets). I'd like to branch to both long-period endurance and sprinting in the future, but for now, there's a smaller hill I have to conquer.
