I understand.
I am learning that old age isn’t so much a barrier to performance (at my level) as a drag on increasing fitness. Therefore, if I want to improve next season, that is, move from fourth to third quartile among the guys I’m riding with, I am going to have to carry a reasonably high load all winter.
I desperately need strength training, but I will have to wait until the gym at work reopens. It’s the only place I would consider safe under current conditions. Until then, it’s core and resistance bands in the basement.
