On a practice day at the track, how do you guys approach it....
3 x 20 min motos or similar?
Break the track down into sections and focus on a section at a time?
Focusing on proper technique?
Dedicate any time to doing laps at a higher than usual intensity?
Spend any time analysing other riders for technique or lines?
Keep track of lap times or heart rate etc?
Dedicate days or sessions to bike setup?
Any of the above or any methodology you'd like to share. Perhaps you get carried away racing some random spode and blow your energy in the first lap or two.
Either way, let's hear it.

After that I may take an hour or two break and work on a particular section or set of fun jumps to mix it up for the rest of the day.
As far as moto 2, 3 and 4 go, I treat those as if they are races on Sunday. Wide open as long as I can go for. Sometimes I'll throw in a few 5 or 6 lap sprints since local races usually don't go more than 5 or 6 laps(unless you race REM).
After my 4 motos are done I'll usually go back out with one of my slower buddies and try to push them out of their comfort zone to help build up their speed. I'll usually do some goon riding behind them too. Everyone spectating usually enjoys that lol
I also have a list of bad habits I review before a ride day.
The Shop
I'll then use the rest of my day alternating between sprints and playriding. I'm a vet, so I'm usually tired out after about 20 laps, and that's my goal.
