You could get Chris Carmichael's "Time Crunched Cyclist." He describes a routine of concentrated efforts with rest and downtime. Then come back here in 6 weeks and tell us if it worked for you. It worked for me, especially since I have very little time to ride each day.

Or, as my other speed routine - my speed / distance improved by several mph by drafting FlyingBlind9. :-) Just sayin...
