Here's the training of a masters cyclist the year before winning his first UCI Gran Fondo race.
Specifically, you'll learn what particular areas of his training we focused on.
It's also a demonstration of the persistent mentality that's required to succeed with ambitious goals.

Don't have time for long rides, but want to improve your cycling power?
"That's simple, I'll just increase my exercise intensity to compensate."

I don't think polarized training is the be-all and end-all in cycling training. HOWEVER...
...it is a very effective and easy-to-execute training model, with applications for novice and experienced athletes alike.
When Stöggl & Sperlich tested 9 weeks of polarized training against other training modalities back in 2014, the polarized model came out on top.
The well-trained endurance athletes who participated (cyclists, triathletes etc.) tested a whopping 12% increase in VO2 max and 8% greater power at 4 mmol/L after 9 weeks.
I've made a simple training plan framework based on the model applied in the Stöggl & Sperlich paper, along with some comments on how to adjust it to your needs.
