Get cogs first. They’re cheaper and the steps in gearing are a more meaningful change. A single tooth on a chainring is a difference of only a few rpm at speed and generally you can get multiple cogs for the price of a single chainring.
Don't be afraid to go big either. Unless you’re a genetically gifted spinner, you can literally waste years of development chasing your tail with
earning how to spin at high ~160+rpm

Thanks for the response. I am doing this by myself becauae there is an outdoor velodrome near my house.
usually its empty and i just bike for an hour increasing my effort every 15 mins.
i got some good info from tejano on the forum and am moving to london next week were i can partake in velodrome clasea.
I dont even know how to measure rpm on a bike lol.

Attack
Unless your already race fit and skilled can contend for podium
If the pack ever slows down enough for you to get in front go for it. Don't blow up or try to breakaway but take advantage of the fact that you don't have to chase down someone else's effort. Naturally the pack will pass by and you can slot in.
