There are some good reminders in this article

Rolf Aldag has some good advice there; but this Rolf says you can meet all your Training Rut problems by simply switching the channel.

• Variety of effort (harder and easier)
• Variety of post-ride food & drink
• Variety of terrain ( intense climbs; ripping the flats; upper-body technical sections; grinding through sand; seated extended climbing etc.)
• Thinking in terms of exploration and discovery v. time and distance
• Riding with new, exciting (and much funnier) people
• Naturally occurring "rest-rides" where the point is the cycling experience v. strictly physical training

That article is like a guerrilla ad for TSCX—where the psychological and the physical coexist in perfect harmony.
