Structured training programs are good, but racing where the surges are random and you have to adjust the pace changes on the fly are quite helpful.

I do a weekly race series on Zwift with some local guys (Calgary, Edmonton, Kelowna, etc). It's definitely the best workout I get each week. Really forces you to push yourself and the competitive nature kicks in when you're up against the same people every week. The organizer is great in that it's 21 weeks long and he has points for GC, Sprint segments and KOMs.
