i have done a 11.9(200m) on a 400m track and a 1.11.3 (kilo) on a 250m track. I definitely rode 92.6 (48x14) for the 200, and i think it was the same for the kilo (ie. 92.6).

I dont do any weights at all, but spend most of my time doing endurance work on the road, with 2 short track sessions per week. Maybe 70-80% endurance based, depending on training phase.

What's your best 200m tt (or kilo)? 11.4sec on Dunc Gray( hand timed)

WHat gear were you riding? 90 inch

How much can you squat in the gym? atm 120kg x 5

How deep was that? thighs parallel to the floor

Roughly what percentage of your training time is dedicated to endurance work? not much, only long rides is for recovery. Will do that once a week.

200m = 10.9 outdoors on a 400m, 92.6 from memory
I squat roughly 280 - 300kg when I'm in form (about 220 at the moment : ( )
I squat 3/4 depth (same as riding extension)
I would do maybe 300km a week in the summer and 5 - 600 in the off season.
(I would qualify that by saying that these K's are done very quietly so not really endurance work)
