Hey Hippy,
I appreciate what your are saying about coming from a roadie point of view but I questioned it as the original start of this thread was about training for track racing. Sure if you are doing road you need a bigger road base and far more endurance training, however I think you will still find the better riders mix in some form of intervals and sprint training in the off season.
Of course you can over do high intensity work just as you can long distance endurance work, its all about making sure the rest is enough to recover. This doesn't mean you cannot do high intensity work all year round tho apart from the periods I have mentioned in previous posts.
And thank you for appreciating what I have posted, I love this sport and I am very happy to pass on what little knowledge I have built up. I hate seeing riders going around in circles unsure of how to train.
