Getting older is a right bastard. Recovery starts slowing down, you hurt more, and start getting more prone to certain injuries. And most people just start going easy on themselves as they get older; it's easier to sleep in than it is to get up at 5am so you can go for a 3mi run.
If you are cis-male and have insurance, get a blood panel to check your hormonal levels. Sometimes some of the effects that men feel as they age can be caused by a sharp drop in testosterone levels, and that's a very easily treatable issue. That's most often the case once you hit mid-40s or older though.
