I started out fat and clueless. The lessons I learned are different from someone, who grew up a star athlete. If you want to be fast, take tips from someone who figured out how to be fast If you want to lose weight, take tips from someone who lost the weight
Elsewhere I think I learned from you: “Don’t go to bed depleted” and that I took to mean to make sure you’ve taken in sufficient (1) calories and (2) protein.
Sufficient protein especially important for athletes over 40.
Earlier in my journey I was going to bed depleted and would have restless sleep/ vivid dreams and wake up the next morning more sore than expected. Those went away with better nutrition.

Dan,
That's a good way to play it.
I've also found that sleep quality, and recovery overall, is a useful indicator of how well things are going.
My sleep will tend to get out of whack as an early warning system of excessive stress.
