The best thing I did was to stop training at the so called mythical SS.
All it did was make me good at tolerating that sort of pace for time. But never improved my raw power.
Intestiglt for the past few months I've only done 12h ish a week average. Mostly hard as 10min efforts and then pooling. I'm making more power than ever. But I do have a deep base to draw on and blessed genetics.

I am unusually blessed with a bit more time to train this winter, well until January anyway, so doing a 3 months or so of 12-14 hours a week: 2 out of 5 rides am doing a little bit of tempo or very low sweetspot, basically progressing up to a 60 minute interval around 85% FTP, but the vast majority is at 50% MAP, and so far am really enjoying it.
in the New Year I am back at work and will have to cut my hours a bit to max 10 hours a week. Not starting specific TT training till May time so not sure whether to stick with the above, albeit with less time, or move to something general i.e. bit of threshold, v02 intervals, but not sure really.
Have done SS training via TR for a few years and keen to avoid/do something different.
