Thank you in advance for your response.
Training need to be structure for the duration of the competition at exercice Intensity Specific of their event .
Most studies show that it is more importante to maintain training intensity ( LT- VO2 max) than training volume.
Unless you are training for the " tour of california ", your Winter Base would be to focuse on "LT OR FTP " and some unstructures VO2max.
3 weeks before your firts race a VO2 flock will also help to increase your VO2max and your threshold .
