It’s the winter—you should be working on weaknesses! I only know bike training but it’s not too hard to aim for increases.

I wouldn’t do 6x10’ at 100%. You should work on improving FTP with some over-threshold or VO2max intervals.

Try 5x3 at 120% with 3’ rest and add one interval a week up to 10x3. Or try 5x3 @ 110% with 1’ rest and add one interval a week up to 10x3.

Then go back and try your 6x10’ at a higher wattage than the prior 100% wattage. Your I’ll see if you got any stronger.

I’m not a coach, but I bike a lot. I think it’s hard to improve FTP without going beyond it in training regularly.

I think that in winter you just need to maintain the form of training, and pay more attention to health, you can do part of the trip at home on a stationary bike
