Lately I am becoming more aware of (even if they are not more frequent) days when I step on the gas but the tank is empty. Those are the days when I want to put a bullet through the pace clock. I was wondering if anyone else notices the same thing, and if so what they do about it.

Hey, Jim. No, I haven't been eating anything beforehand since I swim so damn early in the morning because of work. Maybe I should.
Robin, I am 51. My son tells me I am not old, Geek. Didn't you just age up?
John, I usually have a grande latte from Starbucks after I swim. Not really hungry until later in the morning. I try to grab a Gatorade and something to eat midmorning but am starving by lunchtime. I was thinking this might be part of the problem.
Gull...from my personal experience, if I don't have some actual food after a workout and wait awhile, I do feel awful the next time I have an intense workout. Mayb try some health bars that aren't high in calories but can get some protein back in the body pretty quick or a bag of trail mix type fruits, nuts.
