Free Coaching Advice..

Now that the season is over for those of us in SoCal. I'm now getting ready to layout my training plan for the winter. One of my limiters in crit racing is the ability to push the pace at the front of the pack. My usual routine in racing is sit in the pack until the final laps and move up to sprint for a top ten finish. Pretty much boring if you ask me. I'm able to go to the front for a minute or two before I start feeling like I'm ready to blow. After doing that I'm pretty much toast.

My question is what can I do over the winter time to work on my endurance so I'll be able to ride longer in the front of the pack, hell, I would even like to breakaway from the pack for a few without blowing up.

Edit: I'm even considering adopting a time trial training plan to help with sustainable power.

Thanks,
