Interesting article,
however this may well be the reason the Aussie sprinters have been falling by the way side while the GB boys have been taking sprinting to new heights.
Also sprinting especialy indoors at higher levels is like a 3 lap drag race now with the guys hitting between 20-30mph before the sprint even starts, Jamie Staff is quoted as saying his sucess at the Olympics was down to doing a big road block after the 2007 worlds allowing him to be fitter than ever before with the knock on effect of being able to train harder and reach new peaks, he pb at every thing from peak power to weight lifted in the gym off the back of this at the age of 35.
I know what training they are doing and it does included a fair few road rides many of which are proper aerobic conditioning rides.
I did more road last year than before and went quicker, and I have ramped it up another notch this year so lets see if I go quicker again!
