Are there any benefits to short Z2 workouts?

I think the list is longer than we think…

How many people train but don't race (or do 'timed' events)

I love training but I do struggle to motivate myself to enter Time Trials which is my preferred option. I feel I should because otherwise I am training without purpose but I am happy to try and hit x miles, y TSS or even z sessions per week. Obviously raising FTP is a main sign of improvement to myself. I have not even looked at the 2019 TT calender as yet and in 2017 I didnt do any races. I know that is my choice but I was wondering how many others are in the same boat.
