Rollapaluza

Great thread, I was wondering if something like this might be posted on one or other of the forums where people have mentioned this comp - I like the idea of preparing semiseriously for something that's essentially pretty hilarious. I have no expert knowledge about training, but having done rollers 3 times I can certainly say my best performance (24.something, hey, I'm an 'endurance' athelete!) came after I'd deliberately done some short hard (sprinty-type?) intervals in preparation a few days before

• but I imagine the best training for it would be very much like track sprint training (- which I know nothing about..). I'd say any way you can practice generating power at very high cadences would help; there's also thing I've vaguely half-remembered that I think track sprinters do to develop more fast twitch muscle which involves rigging up a very high-geared bike and like pushing as hard as you can for short periods of time? Something about neuro-muscular something? It was something to do with Chris Hoy/Team GB's training stuff.
