Another runner here. In addition to that I read a bunch and draw/paint when I can. I find having a more 'right brain' hobby can help keep my brain balanced. (There is no science there I'm aware of but shrug). I used to play music (mostly piano) but I have to young children and they usually want to play with me when I play. That is fun but hardly good practice. Drawing, painting, reading can all be done quietly after they're in bed for the night. I also enjoy, but am terrible, at chess (an other abstract strategy games as well) but AFK I don't get many opportunities to indulge that hobby either.
