Always enjoy reading your training/mileage posts. I'll make a suggestion on your strength training. I think it's good to train an upper body "pull" on each of those days in approximately the same angular movement pattern as the push. Example - on the upper body squat/bench day add in a row of some sort. On the DL/OH press day add a pullup or lat pulldown.

I've really simplified much of my strength training over the last decade and try to pair push/pull movements together. I think it really helps with joint integrity and muscle/postural balance...which can help with injury prevention. Alternating the push then pull on sets can help save time as well.

Enjoy retirement!
