  1. Hi guys,i used to train for track events such as sprints,which meant time in the gym and roller workouts etc and doing the least amount of road i could get away with.
    My problem is i quit the track acouple of yrs ago and stopped cycling altogether.Well now ive purchased a Mountain Bike and would like to concentrate on doing some XC racing next season.How do i go about training,ive been trying to do road Kms but my legs are killing,i was a woeful climber too,but feel the small climbs on my training route are improving (slowly).
    You see guys like Marty Northstein go from Olympic Sprint Champ to a roadie.
    Whats the answers,persaverance and continue to do the Kms???

    Empty kms might not be the answer!

    Also the training that you will do with have to reflect your strengths; try to become a RR sprinter, rather than TTer or climber.

    This one is good too, as it talks about why a track sprinter may not make a good road rider and vice versa...

    This one is good as well, is a RR sprinter really a sprinter?
