In your case, rather than doing two full Base/Build/Sepcialty Plans, I would likely recommend starting with two full base plans, followed by two cycles through Build/Specialty. This would look like:

Traditional Base (8 Weeks)
Sweet Spot Base (12 Weeks)
Build (8 Weeks)
Specialty (8 Weeks)
Build (8 Weeks)
Specialty (8 Weeks)

If you’d like, you can choose to focus on a different aspect of your training during each Build/Specialty cycle, ideally increasing in specificity as you grow closer to your event.

Cheers, and good luck with your training!
