Sure, but should I just smash volume for the next 11 months? Or is there some way to optimise my training whilst acknowledging limited opportunities to train and ride long distances every week?
I don't mind putting my life on hold for the 3/4 months leading up to the TCR, but training at 100% for that long a time seems unworkable.
Hence - how can I use intervals/indoor turbo sessions to my advantage during the impending winter?

Long ride on weekends, testing kit.
During the week, ride on feel.
I don't start structured training until the new year and even that is only really for TTs. -
Are you racing TCR or riding TCR? I'd want to have done a 600km Audax done by April... you need volume and you need to know you're comfortable with your bike and kit over long distances and there's only one way to do that. VO2max over winter... I'd be burnt out by Spring and not want to ride my bike.

TCR? Just smash volume. In winter rides <2hr aren't worth getting dressed for.
