For people whose primary fitness activity is lifting or sports: how much cardio do you do? Specifically, what do you do, for how long, and how often?

My primary fitness activity is a sport (recreational, 3x a week), with lifting 2-3x a week. I'm trying to do more LISS cardio outside of these for general cardiovascular health and possibly improved stamina.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies, y'all!

I managed to start running with a C25K program and finally attained a regular 5k run 3 days a week for a couple of weeks before I injured myself a year ago (bad case of plantar fasciitis and muscle strain). The PF is mostly recovered but I fear re-injury, though I want to start again. My main take away has been: "Go slower than you think you should. Slower!".

While I couldn't run, I started a structured calisthenics program (r/bodyweightfitness) and experienced great results (even though y consistency has been average at best). I took 4 weeks off after a solid 9 months or regular practice and have just begun again.

I'd like to being incorporating running again.
