I think it’s a bunch of things for me, mainly with being older/wiser/smart/knowing myself better, as some have said here in the thread. I manage my physical energy and physical self better, sleep better, have more money for my own small home gym in a spare bedroom for example, and finally the internet. There’s far more and better information available now for doing a training program than back then by far. I downloaded a couple of free really good cycling training plan, beautifully done up graphically from UK Alzheimer's Assoc with Bicycling mag IIRC which made it easy to get going

I’m around that age, maybe I’m just at my peak.
