I'll check with my son (a fitness trainer who's studied muscle building pretty well) but if your're 50 or older you should be getting rest days in. Are you cycling on Saturday? Perhaps do your 35m ride on Saturday, and take Sunday off... Maybe try this once? See how you feel?

Generally speaking, I think you're supposed to get a rest day after every workout day at our age.
