I've started lifting a couple days a week but focused on trying to help my running rather than bulking up. I've never had a clue what to do to actually work out and train so follow a training plan on an app that has really helped me.

Lifting weights imo isn’t optional. Its vital.
I have never lifted weights in my life, always had jobs that were physcially demanding and always had rather good muscle mass on my upper body. I spent my 30 to 50's Bass fishing about 3 to 4 times per week power fishing, I think that was a great benefit to my muscles. Do you have office job? Now I do. Grew up in the construction trades, a lot of it framing and carpentry. Guys who thought they were in shape because they had a labor job usually weren't. they were conditioned to work but that's not the same as repetition lifts....it's completely different. They loved to talk about how they were in better shape than guys who went to the gym and how they have seen big weightlifters struggle with lifting a fridge, etc....made them feel good about not going to the gym. Bass fishing.....Look at your average bass fisherman. Denny Brauer looks like 225 lbs of chewed bubble gum. Kevin Van Dam looks like Woody from toy story. I can't tell if your being serious or not referring to bass fishing as excercise. Bass Fishing a work out? Beats other ways of exercising your right arm, ask Lt. Dan.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

I can't tell if your being serious or not referring to bass fishing as excercise. Actually I was being very serious about bass fishing, I am a power fisherman, I need to be standing and casting like a spinner bait or crankbait every throw, I get bored out of my mind working a worm slow. My right arm has much more muscles, than my left arm. I have always had a large overall frame so I never did any type of weight lifting, I have always been more into staying in shape and muscle toning. Last few years now I walk alot and ride my bike daily, I try to get in at least 2.5 hours of exercise daily, I have a make shift home gym for this time of year so I can still bike, I have a elepitical machine and a couple of stationary bikes Exercise Machines set up. I still walk outside daily despite the cold.

Resistance training is really good for bone density as you age. Cardio is more important than weights in my opinion though.
Strength and in shape are two different things.

I’m 82. I remember, as a late teen age 120 pound ranch and farm hand, telling some old cowboys that I ate a lot but just couldn’t gain weight. They told me not to worry; that I was going to. I thought they were nuts. They weren’t.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.
