Training "plan", centralized "bible", or where to begin with?

Hi,

I have been riding a lot as far as touring and commuting are concerned.
I just started racing and therefore training.
My problem is that I have no clearly planned plan for the training.

Indeed I try to ride whenever I have some time (3 hours rides twice a week plus a shorter one) where my goal is basically to ride as fast as I can during the time I have for that ride...
My other tool for training is my stationary trainer on which I cannot just ride aimlessly like on the road so I do 1-hour workouts where I do a total of 12 minutes warm-up, 13 minutes cooldown, 25 minutes at high cadence (110+ rpm) and 10 minutes of 30/30 intervals.

But overall, my training clearly lack planning and organisation.
Clearly there are many different things to do, but is there some "bible" for bike-training? some magical book or resource that would sum most of things to do and not to do? something to begin with for I am positive that, as benefic as my training can still be regardless of its messiness, it is clearly overly underoptimized compared to what I can do.

Thank you and sorry if that feels too vague, but as much as there is a lot of info here, most threads already discuss specifics whereas I still need to get a grasp on the big picture!
