Been there, done that. At 67, I think the Build training plans progress too quickly for me, probably for you, too. Workouts like Washington +4 are just impossible for me. It may be useful to review your history looking for workouts you could complete to see if you can still do them. If you can, then maybe try other variants of Washington, maybe turning them down to 100% of FTP instead of 105%.
I have also been looking at ways I can improve my sleeping habits. I have trouble getting more than 7 hours on weeknights, so I’m continually struggling to get more.
