You have my sympathy. Rapeseed pollen really gets too me too. Streaming eyes, coughing and wheezing. If there are fields of it nearby it is awful.

Nearest field is at the bottom of garden

Don't worry about that. It always goes up and down, a bit, just make it a habit, bit by bit to keep doing more of the good stuff that keeps it down. Eventually it'll become a little lower more consistently .. you can do it

Not every day has to be a tough workout, focus on the diet, and some days just do a good walk. Keep it psychologically achievable. You can make ~5.7 happen more and more often, bit by bit.
