Same. I've traditionally worked out (weights, spin class, or pilates) every morning and then done "fun" bike rides on the weekends.
When I was in my 20s and early 30s, I did a lot of trail running as well, but I swore off running and absolutely hated it for years. Something happened this Winter, and I started running some. Next thing you know, I pretty much need a run (or a bike ride) after work every day. Runs are just so much easier to get in regardless of weather than riding a bike. Doing mainly weights and mobility in mornings (the stretching and mobility has become really necessary with the tightness created from running) then running or cycling in afternoons.
I'm 51 and probably in some of the best shape of my life. Dropped down to below 200 lbs without losing any of the strength I was carrying at 225 last year.
