Sweet Spot Progression

I’d start your SS intervals at 90% to begin with, and see how those go. 95% is hard if your FTP is even only a few % too high.

Also read this thread, and listen to the Steve Neal podcast it references. There’s merit to lowering the intensity of SS intervals and going longer vs going shorter and harder.

The HR cap is also a means of preventing excessive fatigue, which I think is more important for older athletes.
