to summarize = historically, one might say we're (50+) about equally divided in opinion on this. LSD or HIITs take your pick and adjust to your individual schedule. Add weight training. And have fun.
Go for the looong road
Clear your handlebars and your mind will follow
re-edit: 5 times solo Xcountry - you should be giving the tips! I'll listen while sippin my beer.
Tip = over 65 and new to hills and want to ride with spouse might mean road e-bike time for someone.
