New exercise better than 10k steps?

@Newbie777 your workout looks good to me. I went back to running about 25 years ago and was surprised when I got my diagnosis as I was doing between 10 & 15K/week but looking back over decades, I kind of understood the choices that I had made that got me here.
I still run and I have a friend who is a personal trainer who I see for one session a week (that's been going on for 20 years too). The focus of my time with him changes based on what I am looking to do, so in my 40s it was all about balance and skiing, in my 50s more about running style to avoid further damage to my knees and now it is very much about maintaining my muscle while improving my golf swing :D .
I'm fortunate that my wife and youngest daughter both like to run so I have a partner if I need one, although I think they are both using me as an excuse to run slower.
As you say your low carb diet will help with the weight reduction and address the issue of fat. Just remember to make sure that your fat and protein intake makes up for the loss of carbs, I made a mistake last year with that and ended up losing far to much weight and having ketone issues.
 
Brilliant I like your perseverance and consistency, running is also very good, especially as we age, targets and priorities change.

I have really enjoyed fitness or running or going gym, just lov eating, eating out, socialising etc.

However, I do everything on my own like going to gym etc but would be great to have someone else too like a trainer.

My diet is mainly protein based (Surreal for breakfast) fish, chicken etc and have full fat stuff like french butter, greek yogurt, almonds, walnuts etc

Also I have some sort of vitamin deficiency, can't nail it maybe B12 or D perhaps as I feel lethargic especially in the mornings, so even more keen on trying out the interval walking (which will be from this week).
