Getting on in age

I first noticed it when I was in my thirties. The tiredness took a longer time to go away after a game of football. It will be a few days before I will feel fully recovered and ready to play again. Before, I can play football day after day after day and still able to give my best every time without feeling tired. There was no need for a recovery period. Immediately after a game, all I needed was a good bath, a good night sleep and I'm ready again. Now, in my early fifties, its even longer! I marvel at people in their fifties, sixties and even seventies and yet, can still finish a marathon. They must be really fit.
