Definitely maintain speedwork during the winter. Don't need to keep high mileage, in fact it's probably healthier not to - it does depend how your body responds to different kinds of training load. If you already have a decent mileage base, just try adding one or two sweetspot sessions per week and take note of any impact it has on your longer distance stuff - are you feeling stronger after a few weeks or is it having a negative impact? If it's the latter, try with one session per week, if it's the former, cool, keep at it.

I know I'm not time crunched but want to get on it. I'm not scared of the rain so what do you recommend, just keep my mileage high over winter off the turbo or mix in a few sessions?
I'm used to riding my bike lots but this training stuff is 100% new to me.
