Exactly same here (6-7 hard workouts per week - running, free weights, climbing, weekends spent on long hikes, ski touring etc), but evaporation of workout was mainly due to covid and WFH, and becoming parent (that's a proper black hole for any free time, even if you are unemployed). Also 2 pretty bad injuries last year (wrist and ankle). It got me pretty depressed and I am not yet out of woods completely.

If you find these kind of passions in life, corporate work world is just necessary evil distraction to get money to actually live and do what you want. Which I am fine with, but around me I see very few people with similar passions in their lives.

One dangerous thing I noticed - with diminishing number of trainings, my mindset also changed a bit. Getting motivation for workouts got harder, motivation to push myself a bit is lower. I actually could find more time if I tried harder. At least it goes both ways - increasing frequency brings it back, which is great now since I can run outside in the forest and it gets dark later.
