recovery times & swim times say to me endurance is ok, but forgot getting any faster!!
any suggestions/ideas?
I hate to burst anybody's bubble, but if you were a competitive swimmer at one time, then you are not getting faster than you were when you were in your twenties. VO2 max, muscle mass, max heart rate, etc. etc. plummet by the time you are in your 60s. Compartmentalize your life and forget about the glory days because dredging them up, will only bring you pain and sorrow. I am happy to find I'm alive in the morning and swimming a time within a half-second of the year before is gravy and time for true celebration (...but a faster time...forget about it). The only people getting faster are those that did not exploit their talent when they were younger.
