Sounds like a good rough outline - will try and base something around that. I think I need to write a plan just so I have that structure and feel I need to hit the training targets, which is probably why I thought a pre-written plan made sense as well - but as long as I set myself a target should achieve the same thing.

You mentioned trainerroad at the start, why not just load the Short Power Build plan? It's pretty much what hippy has prescribed but with the structure you want written down.

I've not done it for a few years but block periodisation worked a treat. 1 week of 5 sessions at varying interval length (it's hell). Then 3 weeks of just one session a week at target duration, done really hard. Everything else easy.

2 to 3 VO2 sessions per week. The rest easy stuff. If you hit your targets easily - bump duration or intensity. If you struggle, check your recovery days aren't too much and if that's not the cause reduce duration (typically, if you reduce intensity too much you're training different energy systems)
