I know it's not all about your CTL, but mine is on a mega-plateau and has been for ages.
Don't really understand how i can start ramping it more at the moment... have upped the intensity in the last weeks, tend to do this each week
1-2 x high intensity turbo (intervals)
1 easy recovery turbo
2 x outdoors - 90-1ookm (steady)
1 x total rest
1 x gym / S&C
But am trying to up the distance of the outdoor rides a bit each week to build volume.
Is proving difficult to up the volume though, there's something about me and winter that just doesn't get on.
Today i went out in the proper cold for the first time in a while and my legs just totally failed to co-operate. Admittedly I was pretty tired (the day before a scheduled rest day), but i felt like the cold just sapped all my energy
