Re: Strasser. I personally can't do 4-6hrs a day so I progressively overload weekends while the weekdays are static (commutes and one speed session, in previous years I have added volume but not sure if any use).
Also, I like being able to go "ooh that's another audax I've checked off my todo list" so there's a satisfaction in doing the longer, more fatiguing rides.
In previous years though I got to the point when I was doing 18hr weekends at 24hr race pace up and down A roads and it really sucked dick although it was effective training for me I hated it and now refuse to do that again.
