It depends on the program but Joe Friels book recommends you can repeat the end of your base training to fill the gap (the stage roughly half way through where the load isn't too big yet), or you can plan the 20 weeks to a B race, have a taper, then jump back in mid training cycle.
You can always plan around your holidays as taper/recovery/rest weeks too.
