Fiona Oakes is the greatest runner you’ve never heard of.

She’s also a volunteer firefighter, operates Tower Hill Animal Sanctuary with 450+ animals, and does all of this without a kneecap (she lost it to disease at the age of 17). You’d be hard-pressed to find another individual with as much grit as Fiona with an equal amount of humility to match.

To briefly touch on the science behind this, intense physical exercise can stimulate free radicals, which can damage cells and prolong recovery time. Antioxidants on the other hand reduce free radicals. So by consuming antioxidants that combat these free radicals, in theory, an athlete can reduce the time needed for recovery.
