Carrying on the recent updated posts, my one is way out of date too! 2019 was blighted by bad health and injury from March until around August, but besides a cold I had around Sept/Oct, I've been making steady progress on recovering some of the ground I lost from March.

Numbers in [] are where I was around mid Nov '21 after a ~3.5 week flu, also hit for six in Apr/Jun/Dec by Covid vaccine jabs and cold in Feb.
Thought my days of chasing my numbers were over in Nov, I've ridden everyday since 2nd Nov '21 for 30mins+ with exception of two days of ~25mins, didn't get my usual late winter/ early spring lurgy. Usually beating my own segment times when I attempt them, on segments I've done numerous times since '17, very surreal as getting older! Realised after finishing Zwift TT yesterday with best ever 18mins 318W, that I should have tried to continue for 20mins to achieve goals of a 300W+ 95% and possibly even 4W/Kg (which I never thought I would get near while nowhere near my Aug '17 weight of ~73Kg).
I think generally I bucked the trend of the last ~2.5 years, in that I think a lot of "number hunters" improved through the pandemic, while mine steadily and then suddenly slumped before now bizarrely being at the best they've ever been in the 5-20min range.
Still focusing my turbo (mostly Nov-Mar) efforts too much on 5-20min efforts (which easily covers time for me to climb Hampshire hills), not enough proper sub 60sec training and definitely not enough 30min+ threshold stamina training. I've got a new Deda adjustable stem to increase my saddle to bar tops drop from ~3cm to a max of ~8cm, but ironically I upset my weak lower back muscles the worst in 5+ years last weekend, while moving the new turbo out of the way to use the old on this past week (I chose the larger size Cube in '17 because of my weak back history since '08, but it's typically been much better the last few years).
I have days of weakness, but generally eating less choc raisins and hot cross buns since Feb, plus not been eating cereal when I get up and waiting to have something to eat 0900-1000ish.
