Short intense period before starting base? Chad's short FTP boost plan

Some time ago, @chad was experimenting with a few weeks of intense workouts to get a boost on his FTP before going into the base/build/specialty bit. While he mentioned it worked for him, I have not seen anything on the plan option. I am thinking of doing such a thing – 3-6 weeks of perhaps high intensity to get my FTP boosted. THEN go into base/build/specialty. Doing so now will let me do a run-focused period later this winter. I can do SS work and run hard – but I cannot do high intensity…

Gendarme; Stanislaus -4; Freel +1, ; Bashful; Baird +2; Mills; Dade +1; Spencer.

Could do each twice working through the progression. on a day on/day off basis (depending on you ability to recover).
