its an old model, I think its kind of like the tacx blue matic. I plan on purchasing the tacx booster for my winter training.
Not sure about the 32-11 though. Maybe use an old road bike or a road crankset when on the trainer?

Still winter so it`s structured indoor training for me most of the time.
This week:
6 x 4 min @ 120 % of FTP
2 x 20 min @ 95-100 %
1 x 20 min @FTP and 30 min with 30 sec on 170 % and 1 minutes rest in-between @ 100 watt for increasing the mitochondria.
5 x 30 sex all out wingate intervals. Resistance 9- 10 % of bodyweight in kp on the training bike.
and 4 hours outside
So a little bit of everything this week, I try to change focus depending where I am in the training cycle. Sometimes more threshold work or V02max or anaerobic focus.
Not so much volume but I live where the weather sometimes is really bad for riding outdoors plus riding with studded tires in the dark does not motivate me.
I do my indoor training on a monark exercise bike where you can keep the resistance very stable plus it`s great for short hard efforts.
Cheers!

Ride lots!
What about Fat biking (possible in Sweden?) Here we have some nice tight single tracks to keep/develop some skills and have fun. On the trainer your program looks good. I would maybe try to replace some of the 6x4min sometimes with more quantity as we're further away from a racing season. Something like 3 sets of 5x2:30-2:00 @ 110ish% or 4 sets of 8x1:30-1:00 ! that's a high amount of time spent at high watts. You can even recover in your zone 2, around 65%. Makes for some creative 3x20min of over under.
Interesting mix for the 1x20 follow by the 30 seconds !
