Realistic FTP for 68 year old male

I’m 60 and 90kg. I started using a turbo trainer in March 2021 after some downtime/forced indoors for medical reasons. I’ve moved through Fulgaz, Zwift, Sufferfest and Bkool to TrainerRoad. I’ve just completed Sweetspot Low Base 1 & Base 2 and am now starting Build.

My FTP has risen steadily from 167 in March to 202 today. I’m not worrying about others’ scores - my goal is being able to enjoy getting outdoors.

TR is working well for me - tracking Progression Levels between ramp tests is surprisingly motivating. Plus, it’s excellent that with TR I don’t need “workout fear” after an FTP rise.
