No, you aren't harming your legs. For track you want explosive energy, so intervals are key. Most people start intervals in January and do base up until then. I don't think a lot of base will be required in your case beyond your commute if you are doing that five days a week.

This is the book you want to read regarding training: http://www.amazon.com/The-Cyclists-Training-Bible-ebook/dp/B00AWE96CW/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1382911324&sr=1-1

Training and Racing with a Power Meter and Cyclist's Training Bible are probably the closest two. Also check out Reading the Race for strategy tips and race craft.

I recommend you buy the cyclist's training bible by Joe Freil. I learned about it through this sub and it has helped me SO much. It teaches you nearly everything you want to know and gives examples and walks you through making a training program that fits you.

But in short, something like 3 weeks of load and 4th week should be rest, with mostly endurance, that means staying in zones 1 or 2, with some fitness testing. Give your legs, body and mind time to take a breather. Bring volume down to 4-5 hours, so take 3 days off leaving the rest for endurance and testing.
