The Obree Way: A Training Manual for Cyclists

Cycling Weekly calls it “a must‑read to make you faster,” and Sir Chris Hoy says Graeme Obree is “genius in the true sense of the word” — and that pretty much sums up why this book has become a modern classic. Obree isn’t just a double world hour record holder and double world pursuit champion; he’s one of the most original thinkers the sport has ever seen.

This fully updated edition of his hugely popular guide cuts straight through the noise. Obree has always questioned the so‑called rules of training, and here he breaks cycling down to its basics, asking the only question that really matters: what actually makes you faster? His unconventional, brilliantly simple methods helped him reach the top of world cycling, and he lays them out with total clarity.

The book covers technique, training, psychology and diet, all explained with Obree’s trademark logic and honesty. It’s practical, it’s refreshing, and it’s designed for every kind of rider — whether you’re a weekend warrior or chasing race results. This mono edition is based on the revised 2018 second edition, bringing Obree’s radical insights to a new generation of cyclists.

If you want to rethink your training from the ground up and get more out of every ride, this is the book that shows you how.
