speed = distance over time

Speed does = distance over time. In terms of CW my speed is currently around 12wpm with a character speed of around 20wpm. I have been at a distance from a qso for over a month now and I am experiencing what is called a plateau. Or is this my natural speed?
If I go for a run, I know I can run at a certain pace for a certain distance. Nowadays no amount of training will get me down to what I could once do when I was in my teens (back then I could do around 1 to 2 minutes quicker for a mile). This was the same back then. I have a capacity and I know it well. Is the same true for CW?
Can I only do a certain speed?
How do I find a natural speed and maintain it? (Overtraining is a crime!)
My normal excuse is I need a new pair of trainers. Surely I need a new morse key, right?
