I've been talking to my nutritionist and trying to take care of that part as well. In 2021 I just ran to train for my first races (5k, 6k, 10k...) and managed to run 780 total. I have to say, my goal to run 1k miles came from this thread, and probably more specifically from your post.
Needless to say, I've jumped into hobby head first and it's been one of the best things I've done in my life. I've never been healthier at 37 years old and much mentally tougher. We'll see what happens next year, while I absolutely love running and it's not more or less an automatic thing for me, I do want to venture into maybe becoming more of a triathlete, so increasing the mileage might not be possible just from a time perspective.

Recently in a video it said better to run for time than it is to run for miles.
Perils of learning anything on YouTube and great runners use weekly mileage.
They pointed out if it takes over three-hours in one session to reach your mileage that may not be beneficial.
For myself + three-hour runs were often what I needed to reach my LONG RUN DAY.
Just something some might find helpful.
