year too long/much
Greetings,
How do I say that something lasted a year too long? For example an athlete who goes on despite his declining physique and no longer gets the results he used to. Do I say:
It was the year too long.
or
It was the year too much.
Or are there more preferable ways to say this?
Thanks in advance.

About an athlete you can say: "... should have retired a year ago."
For object, or otherwise inanimate things, the expression "... should have been retired a year ago" can work in certain contexts.
