Tom--
I don't seem to have the same raw speed I had when I was younger. I do think my form is better now, plus the body suit also seems to help me--possibly by compacting my middle aged body into a facsimile of its younger self, i.e., back when muscles themselves girdled me into a cylinder! Now I need suit technology to do so.
Anyhow, I have read that the best marathoners are in their 30s; and the best sprinters (in running, at least) tend to be a lot younger. Perhaps the fast twitch muscles go more quickly with age than the slow twitch.
Not sure what else I can make of the results of this poll so far.
