You mentioned that you are out for fitness, not competition. Even so, the suggestions above that talk about pushing and recovering are spot on. In "Fast After 50" by Joe Friel, he not only addresses competition, but functional fitness to be able to continue doing what we want as we age. He cites many studies that show a hard workout followed by some recovery is more effective in slowing down the aging process than simple steady state exercise.
