What's missing from all of this is anything resembling a 'base' period. No long spins in the small ring. Longest trainer ride is typically 90 minutes. Lots of intensity, not much Z2 on the bike.
Last Jan I was forced to ride over 30h on the rollers...I built up a pretty good base, less intensity and more z2. It was boring as hell..but movies got me through it. It's worth the effort, I had a couple of set backs during the year and I'm convinced that my base helped be bounce back quickly.
