The walks you and I have done were all between 6 and 13 km, haven't measured last weeks one.
Agree with sakokid, only thing that really helps with tramping is heavier pack and more walking.
Being generally fit does help with recovery. I have a reasonably active job - gardening, up and down ladders. Do a fair amount of walking at the conservation sanctuary, and unless I am stuffed from a recent tramp, try to get in some stationary cycling or rowing at home. It all helps.
