I find TR Specialty phase stuff is too hard for ultra distance racing. It's geared towards road racing a shorter events. I'd keep everything in sweetspot zones and leave the Vo2 shit for the roadies. It's not like you're time crunched - you have MONTHS leading up to your event, @bjf
LEJOGLE, in that case, there are better qualified people in here to comment on what you are trying to do, @skinny + @hippy for starters.
If you are wanting to commit to indoors 2-3 times a week, I would personally consider following TR and doing;
Base: Sweet spot base, 12 weeks
Build: Sustained Power Build, 8 weeks
Both low volume supplemented with longer outdoor rides/audax events +commuting but ensure it's gradual and follow the rest weeks. As June is week 23 I'd skip a specialty phase from TR (and not sure any of them are event specific for you) but optionally do maintenance on the turbo then lots of outdoor volume.
That would be my take... happy for the long distance experts on here to suggest better approaches :)
