Try the "microburst" workout from the good book. Much pain.

Alternatively, I do a modified version of an interval from a Carmichael DVD, the SteadyState/PowerInterval surge. Basically it's a 2-minute interval where you go 30sec at FTP, then 30sec all-out, 30sec FTP, 30sec all-out, then recover. It's a beeyatch because you're not getting a full recovery for that 2nd surge.
