Is There a Routine to Training?

It's been sometimes two years since athletes have towed the start line and maybe even longer. There is a routine to getting into races, right? I mean, there's not just a routine with the training part of it. But as the race kind of gets near, you start drawing these parallels between the climbs that you're doing during training and the climbs thatyou're doing the race. That doesn't exist or that hasn't existed for some time.
