Yes, you are touching on the question that is apart of the art of training and coaching. There is no perfect answer as it so depends on your energy and how you have been responding to training. If you do all 24weeks of training then go and do your goal–and your next goal is let’s say 16 weeks away what I would recommend is you come back. Take a week super easy as your climb probably took a lot out of you and I would then go back and do the first 8 weeks of the 24 week plan to re-build your base-skip the middle weeks and finish with the last 8 weeks again. I worry less about the hours and more about what your goals are, when they are and what you feel your weakness is. I would not recommend just continuously building volume based off of  the 23rd week of training. You will most likely get a LOT out of doing the plan exactly as written a second time before even thinking about adding more volume.

I hope that helps,
