In my limited experience this works up until a point, then you're going to have to ride at the pace a group demands (as in your races). Riding in a rapid chaingang that seriously pushes you isn't bad training for short races.
There's not a universal recipe for success of course.

Seriously though... distance is an ok indicator for base isn't it? Less useful perhaps than any other metric but good enough. You could measure base in no. of punctures if you really want but TSS is a gift.
