I have been cycling for about 2.5 years. I train on a computrainer 80% of the time and have seen improvements. However, based on my swimming improvement and running improvement, it seems like I have hit a wall with cycling. I usually hang out around 175-185 watts for a longer effort (2-4 hours). I cannot fathom how people hold 300+ watts for this long.  
Also, I cannot hit my heart rate targets before my legs give out....so if the workout calls for Z3 HR, I push as hard as I can so I can survive the distance...but my HR won't approach Z3 until the very end when I am grinding it out to the point of collapsing at the end of the workout. 
From an RPE perspective....I am able to push past pain and push it to a 8-9 on a scale of 1-10 during these efforts. I feel like I am working very hard.

Consider consulting a cycling coach for personalized guidance and incorporating strength training to break through your cycling plateau. If you want to find the best online pokies in Australia, then I recommend this article https://www.outlookindia.com/outlook-spotlight/best-online-pokies-sites-to-play-for-real-money-8-online-sites-for-playing-pokies-online-in-australia--news-301655 where you can find information about proven, reliable online casinos. Here I find detailed reviews that cover various aspects such as game selection, security, bonus offers and quality of customer service.

I think that you need to reduce the level of stress and get more rest, and as a result, carefully achieve the desired progress.
While you are relaxing, I can suggest you use the yabby casino no deposit bonus, this is an excellent service that will help take up your time and you can even win money! I like to play there sometimes during breaks between training sessions.
