Training Advice

I'm struggling with stamina too, although my lungs are OK, I have Lactic issues. You will not really know what your issues are until you actually hit that track and spend some time in a race (although you will obviously have an idea from your road experience).

Relying on sprint 'power' probably won't be enough. I have OK sprint power and it gets me know where.

I am squating double body weight at the moment, but don't get to do it every session as I need a spot to go that heavy, I normally do easy reps at about 1.5 times body weight.

I was reading somewhere that all the power house sprinters squat over 2.5 times body weight!

I cant see my lungs getting much better than Ive got em, like I say my blood has changed to compensate already!

I never get lactate/muscle cramps unless im on a really spinny gear for loooong hill climb, and I can cope with that.

So yeah its gonna have to be power or nothing, ive been doing the weights thing for 4months and got to bodyweight (5x5). By next year maybe ill be up 2x BW. But keen to give track a go this season. I think ill just go for it when I get the chance.
