It's more to do with taste. Most pre-cooked food tastes too salty to me now as
I find I need less salt to bring out the flavour.

I don't not put salt in stuff. I cook foccacia caked in it

I'd say your guidlelines and mine are pretty much the same here.

It may be worth your while trying to focus on one attribute at a time. Focus
on your TT
power for a period of time. Go hard and rest up and maybe sacrifice your
endurance
training. After some time revert back yo enduro work with the occasional TT
workout.

Dont try and mix training for different skills.

My 2 cents worth
