Note that a few weeks isn't much time to train for any event. Best case scenario is that you can practice the specific skills you'll need (i.e. VO2Max repeats for a crit or short road race), but if you give a training plan adequate time (think in months and seasons), you'll find you can make substantial progress and really hone in on the specific systems and skills you need.
I appreciate the tip on Trainerroad. I'll look into that app.
I get that it's too late to really prepare for the races coming up early next month. I'll just hope that what I've been doing will be good enough. It's definitely not too late to start training for next year's stuff. I especially want to prep for the big one in September. My goals for it are 1) At least finish, 2) Finish in less than 12 hours. I plan to start a good, structured plan this winter on my indoor trainer, where this kind of thing can be easier to manage, and then transition it to riding in the real world come spring.
