Sprint Training for 2012?

Yeah i totally agree Phil, i'm not saying i expect to be doing 1 lap reps of the track. I've been at the HH sessions all summer (started in beginners for about 8 weeks and then moved up to the inters for the remainder). I'm looking at doing 10 mile TT's next year (albeit fixed) on the track bike w/brake and have been doing all my training on my track bike setup for the road to put the miles in as i own 2 bikes and the commuter is a 1950's R531 so totally different! Basically i'm just gonna do what i enjoy but if there is a sprint orientated session then i'll be a lot happier :-)

I'm no expert, and may be biased coming from an endurance (running/cycling) background myself, but I would've thought for competing in, for example, team sprints and the kilo (events lasting a lot longer than 11 seconds), you'd want to do some aerobic orientated training. Probably no need to slog out 70 miles on a Sunday morning ride but I reckon a few Saturday sessions at HH would be a good thing, then obviously the sprint-specific sessions on top.

Good for aerobic development, plus the more time spent getting used to bike handling on the track the better IMO.
