Just to point out, im incredibly unfit, weak & slow. Thats how I came across the piece, researching training methods.
I have fucked lungs (70% capacity, damaged tissue & asthma) and I know ill never get good at endurance no matter what amount of work. Short sprint which rely on strength (which I dont yet have) is the best I can hope for.
So im focusing on strength work & explosiveness so I can be better at all round sport & get less injuries. Of course im doing riding too, fast interval type stuff.
Hopefully it means I can try out track riding later in the year and I can at least keep up with other newbies (thats very hopeful im really slow)
The articles got loads of invaluable information about sprint training that I find incredibly useful. And reinforces some of the things Ive started doing and points me in the right direction of what to do next.
