I’m comfortable playing around 100 - 105 bpm

To really climb up the tempo caste system I need to be like a practice/gym rat right? Push max tempos everyday almost right?

What method book(s) and pieces to learn to become a super solid beginner to early intermediate classical pianist? I can read music and need to self teach right now, I’m not at a place to be able to hire a teacher at the moment but I do have 30 years on another instrument Yes I read and took 2 semesters of piano fundamentals in undergrad. I have this wonderful habit of biting off WAY more difficult repertoire than what’s healthy or normal, I would like to try and not do that with the piano this go around. Thanks in advance
