On those oddball warm days during winter and the early spring days when I get a chance to do a long ride, I just focus on getting in the miles/hours. These are the LSD days (Long, Steady Distance). When I only have time for a short ride, I'll push a little harder to help build power. As I get more rides in my legs, I start putting in more sustained harder efforts to try and increase my overall speed.
