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 ?

Yeah it's a plan. Maybe to the optimum, but it's better than a lot of them.

Shorter 8-12 min efforts can be really good for bumping 20min power. You can do them at desired 20min max or near it and do a couple. Gets you used to riding at higher power.
