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

Ha! Today thought I would go with a different brand. Bought it at a small convenience store next to where I work. Should have checked the date but didn't. When I opened it found it was sour. When I went back to change it they could only give me my money back as it was the only bottle. Not having much luck with this chocolate milk thing. Will try again tomorrow. Would Ovaltine qualify as chocolate milk? I like Ovaltine?
