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 Alison I will look for that. Since the weather is getting cold it will cool the milk down while I am swimming.
My girls used to swim but alas they both did not enjoy it. The oldest is a good swimmer to. SIGH. She plays rep soccer and just loves it. My other ones loves to sing and plays houseleague soccer and does plays.
We have a pool so we do swim together lots but it is not the same as this.
Both my girls are really proud of me for doing this. I hope in the next few months I go to a meet and they can come watch me for a change:groovy:.
How old are you children?
Mine are in grade 7 and 9
