Managed Watopia's Waistband this morning, its pretty flat but I still have a minor chest "rattle" and managed to average 150 watts for 50 mins (Ftp is only 185), so I think I'm on the improve

A mechanical(?) cut my real ride short so I got reacquainted with Box Hill this afternoon.

Might be a nice hill in real life but its boring as batshit on Zwift... such a creative name too.

a week to go on the kickstarter and they are at 150% of the fundraising goal, so the initial signs are good.

Sand and Sequoias with The Herd.
Was watching MotoGP qualifying, was getting interesting so I was watching it closely. I figure I’ll just maintain the same pressure on the pedals, that will keep me in touch with the group. Re focus on zwift 3 mins later, everyone has bolted !!!
I missed the sprint call

4 week ftp builder will work you. I haven't done any others. I think @Ackland did some of the Build me up program, and @Cardy George did the Gravel Grinder or Dirt Destroyer plan.

Not that I'm following my own advice
but The Wringer, The Gorby, and The McCarthy Special, for VO2 max. Any of the over/under workouts for threshold. SST Medium for sweet spot. Do these in blocks with lots of Z2 in between.Make sure your ftp is up to date..........

I can only stick to training plans if i have committed to an event and then I ditch zwift once the event is done.
This time post event I will try to do a couple of group rides a week and maintain some fitness

Watch out for the dirt group C grade rides. They're a b grade recovery ride and will happily sit right on the pointy end of C. Great for half an hour of workout, but I'm usually cooked before they get to the 90min finish

The mob I rode with and will ride with again Wednesday morning is TBR (The Big Ring) and the seem to structure rides for those wanting to break out of D.
I know targeted training would benefit me more however mentally I wont stick to it without a real world event coming up, this seems like a good way to improve.
Cat A here I come !!!

It certainly helps with flagging motivation, and you do get benefits from the efforts.
But, as you surmise, you will indeed get far more benefit from structured workouts.
Perhaps, continue as you are, because it IS fun and it IS getting you on the bike. But try to factor in one structured workout each week targeting what you feel is your weak point in your TBR rides.
