You also get "better" at riding/pacing FTP tests, which is worth a few watts. Training gains will depend on you current level of fitness, how well you train/recover, genetics. It's a real "piece of string" question. If you are "untrained" then simply riding around more will see gains. If you've quite literally just started riding a couple of months ago and are hitting near enough 3w/kg that's a very good start. Aiming for a specific number can be a little counter productive. Enjoy riding, train if you feel the need. A six week block is nothing in the scheme of things so don't feel you need to train at this stage.

Why don't you try it and find out?
