235km, over 4000+VM, with 3 HC climbs, thoughts on Sustained and Century vs Sustained and Climbing plans

How are the training phases supposed to be followed?

Typically, you will follow: Base > Build > Specialty to the A-Event If you have more events, it is recommended to take 1-2 weeks of easier and unstructured training to recover and rebound. After that downturn, you can resume with: Build > Specialty Commonly, this leads to a different event type and a change in Build and Specialty, but that is not required, especially if you are going for a “double-peak” to hit another event.

Using the Base Build Specialty focus, this is what Im planning.

I have two more weeks of Sweet Spot, then will start Sustained Power Build - High Volume which takes me through to end of this year and then Century High Volume leading up to the event in March.

Hopefully Ill be a beast by then I have noticed significant improvement already and was surprised with my power and endurance last week on Falls Creek, Hotham and Tawonga Gap.

As its coming into Summer and great time for riding outdoors, will need to match a few outdoor rides along the way.
