Yeah you should. If 10s are you goal.
Riding tempo for long rides is TTMs goal. And he's spare capacity so doesn't need to do vo2 right now.
If you're 10mi power is near your 5 min power you need to raise your vo2. If your 10 power is low compared to 5 min power you need to work on sustainable power by pushing it up. If you've capacity push, if you need to make capacity then raise vo2 with direct work. Riding at ftp will push up vo2 though.

Thanks @skinny makes sense !
Want to do well in my clubs evening 10 Handicap league, so will continue doing mostly Threshold/Sweet Spot with a little V02 until April when the league starts. Will assess my power profile then and likely start adding in more V02 work as the season progresses.
Sound like a plan ?

@skinny Interesting. Training for 10 mile TTs at the moment, and would of thought I would need healthy dose of V02 Max work. Threshold and Sweet Spot more useful than doing V02 Max ?
Trying to decide on a training plan on TrainerRoad - 40KM TT which is mostly Threshold/Sweet Spot with a little V02, or something else which incorporates a larger amount of V02 work
