Default Where do we go from here?

Greetings all,

I have some questions that the search button couldn't answer for me:

I have been taught to improve aerobic performance ala aerobic [L3, L4] intervals followed by VO2max intervals [L5, L6]. Ok. Suppose I do this cycle for a couple of years straight - I'm certain I have reached or am very close to my FTP/VO2max/LT limits - where do we go from here?

Do I just pile on the miles like the pros to improve my muscular efficiency now, specifically try to change type 2's into type 1's? What intensity/volume combination is best suited for this adaptation? The tables from Dr. Coggan's cyclingpeaks article didn't cover that, or did they?

Thanks

Increase the volume of what you've been doing (quality training I assume). If you can't do more, enjoy what you're doing and over time you'll still improve your cycling efficiency and become a better, more experienced cyclist as implied in this study. But this takes time and you can't just do it now.
