I have found that my life is too busy and sporadic for a structured workout program defined by such books. I have tried to develop one before, but recovery time, weather, and life events always seem to shake up and ruin my scheduled rides. However, I did do a whole fall/winter endurance building phase. So, instead of placing rides on particular days, I do intervals every few days apart during the summer so far. These intervals could be 2-3x20 slightly above threshold, to a balls out climb at max pace. I am trying to improve sustainable power this season. It has been working and I am getting better. Between each interval ride I will do a nice tempo/recovery ride. I probably will peak in late august, early september. Then, I will try to start over again lol.
