Residual Tiredness for 2 Days After Workouts - Help!

Hi Gang, I'm in my mid-fifties and find I am tired for two days following a hard Sunday workout. It's been sometime since I've pushed myself physically like this so I'm not used to needed a decent amount of recovery time. When I say I am tired what I mean is I feel that my eyes are heavy and I'm not up for doing exercise for 2 days after my workout. I've been back at swimming for about 3 months and currently push myself at least 1x per week under a coach. This equals about 3000 yards. Any thoughts and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks Allen. I hope taking things a bit slower will help. It's pretty discouraging to think I can't put a tough workout it without heavy eyelids for the following two days. I'll take a look at my nutrition too - it's not the best. I pretty much avoid the real junk but I'm sure I could do better.
