I'd not bother myself. In 2020 with lockdown in full swing, I did the TR base training plan and don't think I was as fit as when I do my own base plan. They love sweetspot so get you do endless sessions of that, which I wasn't convinced by at the time, and certainly wasn't later in the year when I'd have expected a higher level of fitness.

I PBd 12hr TTs the last 2 years on TR programs. Problem with training is sample size is always n=1 and you never know if something else could've worked better that year. Maybe you were just slower because, you know, global pandemic, no racing on, stress, people sick and dying everywhere, yada yada.
Then again, there's also a bunch of evidence that polarised training gets better results if you do it properly so maybe SS is bullshit. Seems to work for me, at least compared to previous years of mega volume.

Wattbike do a free structured base plan.
I’m basically trying to talk myself into paying for TR for base training….
