Mileage and Sweet Spot

My sweet spot revolved around 150 - 200 miles per week for almost 40 years; at 79 and retired my training has become more serious and I have a coach and do intervals 3 days a week, usually for 1hr and 15 min. on Zwift/ smart trainer. Weekends are for competitive group rides of 60 mi on Sat. and 31 on Sunday. I do run 8 mi on hilly trails on Monday, my rest day and play golf on Fridays. I am continually seeking accelerated recovery methods and do occasionally have to take a couple days off. I use software (WK05) to stay on top of recovery. I do have extensive medical issues which have been with me for years but have not advanced apparently due to my cycling.
