It's likely you're Overreaching. Been there, done that. For me it sucked worse than the worst cold I've ever had.

And in general (YMMV) 53 is not old when it comes to cycling. When I'm (48 yrs old) at my fittest (FTP of ~230w), a 73 yr old in my group still beats me to the top of every hill, and he hardly breathes during and after the effort.
