You might want to consult your doctor on this. Bet s/he doesn't even know about Andrew Marr.
Because Andrew Marr blames high-intensity training for his stroke.
Can too much exercise cause a stroke?

Effects of high-intensity interval training after stroke (the HIIT-Stroke Study): A multicenter randomized controlled trial
Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation — Gjellesvik TI, Becker F, Tjønna AE, et al. | April 13, 2020
By performing this single-blind, multicenter, parallel group,
randomized controlled trial, researchers investigated whether 8 weeks of
high-intensity interval training (HIIT) plus standard care, vs standard
care alone, would increase and maintain peak oxygen uptake (V o2peak)
more in patients with stroke. This inquiry was performed at specialized
rehabilitation units at 3 Norwegian hospitals, and involved 70
participants. An intervention of 8 weeks: 3 times a week with HIIT
treadmill training with work periods of 4 × 4 minutes at 85%-95% of peak
heart rate interspersed with 3 minutes of active recovery at 50%-70% of
peak heart rate, was performed among 36 participants and the control
group received standard care as per national guidelines. Findings
revealed not only the good tolerability of HIIT intervention in this
sample of well-functioning survivors of stroke but also its
non-superiority to standard care in improving as well as maintaining Vo 2peak at
the 12-month follow-up. However, a significant improvement from before
to immediately following the intervention was demonstrated by secondary
outcomes from the peak test.
