Travel certainly gets old. Once one's routine sets in, settings and sights and surroundings seem to pass by almost like props on a stage. Over sustained periods, my travel tends to become more efficient and less poetic, but still enjoyable.
Long-term travel is still a very worthy pursuit. The road, though, will change you and your expectations, and what would have been a stunning experience after one week of travel might appear average after two months. Slowing down the pace and getting used to a place interspersed with a faster journeying tempo has helped me deal with "travel fatigue". Also, if you have time and safety isn't a concern, travel without guidebooks, that way you'll find more surprises along your path.
Also, concerning the pace of travel in general, there's no shame in going fast or slow, it depends on one's preference and their goals (and money). Do you want to see a ton of great sights and places, or would you rather get to know a certain city or region in depth? There's no one answer.
