I’m in a similar boat, where my joints are really whiny and won’t let me run nearly as hard as I’d want to. I found a lot of daily stretching and sleeping with a pillow between my legs helps a lot. Still, my knees or hips wake me up more frequently than I’d like.
Also some strength training can feel like a cardio workout and actually strengthens the muscles around your treacherous joints.
Sorry to jump into solutionising… This one just really cuts close to home.
That’s so frustrating!!!

No reason to be sorry!
Good point, I might just switch to calisthenics for a little while. And yeah, I do need to stretch more!
