I've been trying to do more social greenway rides with friends to get more zone 2.

Been doing a lot of Zone 2 on the trainer and Zwift this offseason, budget the time and put on a long form podcast and just ride. I can tell the difference when I do my interval days. Never have really done structured training in the offseason before, just relied on the residual fitness and the ability for it to come back quickly. At 56 that's getting more and more difficult. FTP is shooting up and I feel great. Enduros(Windrock in a couple weeks), and coaching are coming up, gotta get ready!
