Use Garmin to create a virtual partner and ride some 5 mile and 10 miles efforts.
Not structured as such and not very scientific but I guarantee it’ll make you quicker.
I’ve always used for pushing myself on 6-10 min climbs and definitely benefitted.

Hmmm. Imma gonna bite. This is pretty bad advice. Any progress will follow a progression. Do you know the above workout is a progression from what otherwise would be ridden?

so i'm trying to add some structure to my "training" this year. being one of those time poor people you read about (and not gonna lie, thank fuck the nurseries are staying open), i've been looking at stuff that gets me the most bang in the shortest time.
i only race cross and 10-mile time trials.
right now, i'm trying to do two relatively intense cross sessions a week and that's it. once the season's over, i'll be mixing things up with some more road interval sessions (1-min intervals, 20/40s, maybe something called Tabata I've read about, some others). maybe bump up to 3 sessions a week? once (if) TT season gets near i will start doing 2x20 min sweet spot sessions, which have worked well in the past.
i'm also wondering if i should add some off-bike strength stuff as well.
fwiw, i have no power meter or indoor bike. i have a garmin on the bike and i think we have a heart monitor somewhere but i've never used it. i have a very fast HR iirc.
any obvious tips i'm missing? i know this is very little training overall, but i'm being realistic.
