1st, congrats on not dying. Cardiac Arrest is no joke. Did you need to be defibrillated when it happened?
As for activity level I believe your Dr. will give you some guidelines which probably involve a max heart rate so while you'll still be permitted to run you'll need to monitor your rate continuously to stay below the threshold. Source: hear say...

I have my first doctors appointment today, I am assuming he will still make me rest up a couple of more weeks until my incision fully heals. I believe he has my upper rate set to 200 which would be near impossible to get. I do have the ICD which is also a pacemaker/defibrillator as a back up.
My issue is I would go into cardiac arrest when resting, not exercising.
I actually went into cardiac arrest twice... once while working from home and once the next day in the hospital immediately after a CT scan. Both times I came to by myself but the second time I woke up I had pads on me and they were ready to shock me.
