    A routine of intervals a couple of times a week for awhile on the bike or trainer in the winter will help a lot in building speed. Optimal hydration and glycogen fueling before and during (and after for recovery) to keep the body prepared for the few maximal moments of those interval's and being physically and mentally rested for the next day you do intervals which speaks to good recovery tactics. Anaerobic intervals will also help in both your climbing, speed and weight.
    Lots of good info on the net about interval training. I used Joe Friel’s Training Bible as a resource years ago when I started looking into it. Probably lots of good studies on it since then too.
