Last year during COVID I ended up doing a 26.2 mile run as something do in the spring. I was surprised at how quickly I recovered so I ended up doing another the next weekend... the pattern continued for 5 weeks.
I eat a primarily whole-food, plant-based diet and credit the low inflammation of the diet with ability to recover quickly and do that at age 45.
I thought it might be a one-off, but in the fall I ended up doing 6 26.2+ mile runs in 6 weeks, including a 50k race and setting my marathon PR on the last run.
But now I'm seeing my 10 year old get into running who has been plant-based from birth. He beat almost 80% of the field in a half marathon about three weeks ago, then two week later completed a 19 mile (30k) run. He's also clearly recovering rapidly and has relatively low soreness.
