Last week went out for 24km. All 2L was finished by 18km. Refilled about half and finished it over the rest. I even had 1L before the run. No toilet stops.
Forget how fit you were and start training like you are literally starting from scratch. Otherwise you go to hard for your current fitness and body adaptation and keep getting injuries. It's frustrating as hell but it's the only way.
Im in a similar situation. I found that spending some time in the gym pool with a kickboard instead of a run did wonders for me.
Ive already hit 50 and having the best running streak since starting in 2019.

600km then its time to change
I try and push them to 2000km
current pair of new balance not wearing as wellI have a pair as my clean "road shoes"; they're just under 500km. Typically around 800-1000km they'll become my Parkrun shoes (those are at 1200km), and then they'll become my muddy run shoes (which are at 1500km).
Perhaps that's why you didn't enjoy settlers, non-trail running shoes?I'm back in my NB 1080v10's. Think they've got over 2000k's on them now
The new v12 pair are sitting in my boot
I find I start getting a lot more niggles/injuries after around 600-700km so I've started changing them out at 600km.
This is similar to me as well but only if I do big long runs in them.
What @Claymore said. You can never discard a pair if it's still in good nick without noticable tears. As they lose their cushioning they get relegated to short runs and then park runs.
