    a bit expensive I know but who has read Obree’s book?

    He has some very interesting ideas on training that has had me having a massive re-think. I have always been about the same level despite my training regimes and various cycling efforts. I look back at my times for various courses and events and they don’t change much year upon year. If anything they tend to follow my weight!

    I might give Obree’s a method a chance…
    He advocates only three types of rides, a hard starvation 2 hour all effort ride, recovery rides in between at very low intensity and a turbo session of 20 minutes duration of all out max effort (fall of the bike at the end).

    I have never been a fan of turbos but he advocates them to measure accurately performance improvement.

    He states that anything in between the other two rides above is a waste of time and worse may threaten recovery in between the 2 hour training rides.

    Which one ? I read his first one, was really interesting.

    Not sure that training regime would work for anybody except him, he is exceptionally talented, and a bit of an eccentric. And was targeting one very specific achievement.

    are you overlooking this factor?

    Are you training for the same type of event as Obree?
