For people whose primary fitness activity is lifting or sports: how much cardio do you do? Specifically, what do you do, for how long, and how often?

My primary fitness activity is a sport (recreational, 3x a week), with lifting 2-3x a week. I'm trying to do more LISS cardio outside of these for general cardiovascular health and possibly improved stamina.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies, y'all!

I run 3x/week, weight lift 2x/week, and if I have extra time and energy for it I'll also do something just for fun like hiking or step aerobics. I enjoy cardio a lot more than weight lifting, but have accepted that I need to be doing some form of strength training to maintain my health as I age.
