Hit the wall today in practice. Do you eat before you go.

WOW I am tired. I hit the wall early in practice today but kept plugging along. I am a 41 year old female who has been out of the water for 22 years ( competitivley). I have been told that is common and it will get better.
How long to build up ones endurance and when does it get easier, though I know you will always have to push yourself. I just see some of the longterm swimmers glidding through the water like it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy. I must admit I am swimming much better than I thought I would be for how long it has been.
I am swimming at 5:30 am. Do you eat before you go? and if so what.
I also have a bit of a lower calf cramp.
Tomorrows practice should be something :thhbbb:. But I am determined to do this.
I need to get in shape lose some weight and just really love the swimming. SIGH

Thanks Donna for all the great info.
I had a little snack this morning before swimming and it was much much better. So now I know I need to do that.
Thanks for being so honest about your weight and inches. I know for a fact that I will lose inches. I just hope some pounds go with it. I am definitley eating better than the summer. Summer is tough we have a pool and you seem to eat more junk and beverages than you do in the fall and winter.
Even if the weight does not come off fast ( thyroid problems) I will be happy to see some toning happen.
When did you start swimming? When did you notice the iches or body changes happen
Thanks for the encouragement. I am pretty happy with myself today but sooooooooo happy I am not swimming until Monday
