Currently a weightlifter, snatch, clean & jerk, squats etc. I still want to do this, as I know it will have, and still will set me in good stead for some sprint training and hopefully transfer on to the track in time.

Question is, how can I train outside the gym?

I'm looking to get a road bike (is there any point in getting a track bike yet?) so I can commute, and also go out on the road in my spare time. I'd happily push a track bike on the road if it'd be more beneficial?

From there, should I structure any basic training? Or just ride my bike? I don't see how miles and miles would benefit...so would I be better off doing hill sprints and flat sprints for a higher intensity/shorter period of time.

Also need to know what bike and accessories I'll need!? Lol

Thanks for helping.
