For the next 2 1/2 months, it would be all SST oriented. There's some debate if starting with VO2max workouts in the mix will "raise the cap" of your FTP improvement capability. I personally found that out this year. I went into summer "base" training in July, and 1 month of a good VO2max workout 1 day per week, and I had much better improvements in August.

But it's turning to the time for base training, and to me that only means a focus on threshold improvement. My VO2max stuff is in pretty good shape, so I'm more concerned about bringing up threshold to it's cap.

I'm actually debating abandoning priority for my November racing and resetting my base season in November and December instead of late December into January.
