I think you misunderstood - I’m all for racing CX, just not ‘a summer of strength training’ which in the past I’ve done, and as I alluded to it does make a difference but not enough - unless genetics - to make the pain worth the gain in terms of improvement in races.
TL;dr if you aren’t top 20ing with unstructured training you ain’t going to top 10 with it. So might as well just enjoy the biek.
(Also medium duration high intensity MTB stuff is pretty great training for CX, lots of sprinting, bike control and the bonus is it’s enjoyable)

I get that you're not a fan. Why post here with such a bad attitude though?
I've enjoyed my road riding this year and cx has been a fun alternative. I'm not too bothered about placings. Most of the field needn't either, unless they're desperate to be the next big cx star on Instagram.
