Sprinting (on the bike)

Just wanted a few views, I'm trying to increase my sprint power.
On the static bike, I'm doing trying to do interval training - so 15 second hard sprint followed by 30 seconds rest for as long as I can.
Is that right to try and improve my sprint power and longevity?
I'm finding that my riding is getting quicker, but my lungs can't keep up!

I used to do 45 seconds recovery when I did a lot of those, quality drops otherwise. Try starting in a big gear too, so you're really having to push for the first few seconds.0

If it's just power.
you need higher gear or uphill. Short sprint, 6-15 seconds. Full recovery 5mins plus.
If longevity of sprint the 10-1minute with less recovery (3-5minutes).
If its your lungs that can't keep up is probably your aerobic capacity, so get on the long rides!For professional MTB & BMX coaching, training & guiding!

Probably is fitness, so working on that too!0
