This is the podcast where i heard the expression:
"The danger in excessive exercise—a reverse J-shaped mortality curve [21:15]"

I wonder if you were too active? The study defines high exercise as over 150 minutes a week. That's laughable for active people. I've heard references to the J shaped curve for exercise. Too little really bad, but too much can also have problems. Your 42 miles a week probably hits 400 minutes. On top of other activities maybe too much? Do you have a Garmin? Does it tell you to rest more?
Alternatively, the exercise effect is still a numbers game. Some folks still were hospitalized and died even with high exercise. You were just unlucky.
Regardless, hope you get better soon.

> by being overweight/unhealthy
The authors compared overweight people or people with hypertension between the exercise groups. The effect of exercise was just as dramatic for people affected by those conditions. Obviously, caveat for other conditions but the authors do discuss

For sure, but if that is baseline and there are other activities.
