This is a rough outline of what my current training schedule looks like.
7-Day Training Schedule

Day 2: "Climbing" Intervals X4
Day 3: Ultimate Intervals X6
Day 4: Recovery Ride
Day 5: "Climbing" Intervals X8
Day 6: Ultimate Intervals X6
Day 7: Timed Intervals X2
Workout Descriptions:
15 minute warm-up on bike before each interval type
Follow each workout with core and flexibility target stretching (ex: groin, quads, hamstrings, calves, back, shoulder, etc)
Recovery Ride: Used as a day of recovery (easy ride or other movement), or a make up day if another day has, or is going to be missed. No more than 1 hour.
Timed Interval:
10 minutes at 70% max heart rate
1 minute at 80% max heart rate
30 minutes at 60% max heart rate
"Climbing" Intervals:
4-8 minutes out of the saddle high cadence at 80% max heart rate (increase by 1 minute for every rep)
8-10 minutes of recovery at 60% max heart rate
Ultimate Intervals:
2 minutes 30 seconds hammerfest at 80% max heart rate (either in sprint or TT position. Switch between in and out of the saddle, but still in the drops)
5 minutes of recovery at 60% max heart rate
intense man!
