I'd recommend reading Joe Friel's stuff for anyone that's interested in this and wants to improve. Executing a periodization schedule for the stress of an event is something that anyone can do.

I love stuff like this: https://joefrielsblog.com/polarized-training-update/

Nice write up and confirms what I’ve personally experienced by trying different methods (running/climbing) over the years

I love Joel. I have read the The Cyclist's Training Bible 5 or 6 times and I haven't owned a bike in about 25 years.
