Agree. The funny part is that when I did their full frontal test last year, my weakness was sustained efforts near FTP which is I think what I need to improve in order to improve my 70.3 bike split.
My test claimed that I was mediocre at everything which they then tried to spin in a positive way like I was a regular Swiss army knife of the cycling world.
I think you can make some good gains over the winter riding indoors. The usual paradigm assumes that you can just go out and do those 3-hour rides this time of year and then work on the top end as spring approaches. I guess you could just take those 3-hour rides indoors but that seems like a pretty harsh way to go and I know for me even as a pretty disciplined and motivated person that sort of thing would not be sustainable through a whole winter season. So for me, more running and cross-country skiing and fat biking and then when I get on the trainer it's mostly quality stuff.
