Q&A #62 - Sprint Interval Training during the off-season; Poor correlation between 20-minute power and race performance 

• What is Sprint Interval Training (SIT) and why might you want to include it in your training?
• Is the off-season a good time to incorporate SIT?
• My race performances and fitness improve, but my 20-minute power remains the same - why is this? 
• The importance of knowing the composition of power and understanding changes in aerobic and anaerobic contribution
