It's good to aim for a variety. I do a lot of running every week, but I also try to do two or three sessions of yoga, as those help me with balance, mobility, and strength, and counteract some of the distorting effects of long-distance running, especially the tight hip and leg muscles that comes with long-distance running.

What kind/program for yoga? I tried the P90x variety years ago and it was soooooo slow and repetitive.... I could definitely use something on off days for flexibility/stretching and balance.
I currently try to remember stretching whatever I worked out on the same day, but often forget... and then will sometimes stretch between sets or if I have a long Teams meeting that I can stand for.
