I am not sure about the precise mechanism here, but maybe you are right. Or it might be that I reduce the number of intense days by one and add one long hard workout at endurance pace.
Yes, it might be exactly what you need. If you aim to do long days in the saddle, it might be what your doctor ordered. But if crit races are your thing, perhaps not so much.
If you experiment and make sure to measure fitness along a few dimensions, you can make these choices consciously. Another factor is consistency: @Semi_Matias wrote that he thinks he is more consistent and he found it easier. In case, he should continue doing that and perhaps sprinkle in some novel stimulus every now and then.
