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

WOW Syd is a really early riser to. 5:30 is the earliest time we can swim ( THANKGOODNESS) it is a 90 minute session. I do 75 mins as I have to get ready for work. It is great. I was going to do some evening ast 6 but you know I am not sure I would go. So I am going to continue with the mornings Mon , Tues and Thurs Fri. They seem to be working. I am still getting used to it but all is well.
Alison thanks for the swimsuit website. Do they fit normally? I would be an xlarge. It is cheaper with the grab bag and kind of neat that you dont know what colour you are getting. I am going to try it
The suit I have is not good material, you can tell it is going to rot and the neck line is drooping so I need a better one.
Thanks for all your input everyone. It is great to see what everyones schedules look like
