Cycling: Wheelbase to host Flying Scotsman Obree
4:20pm Wednesday 25th January 2012 in Sport
FLYING Scotsman Graeme Obree will meet cycling fans when he visits Wheelbase in the Mill Yard, Staveley on Saturday.
Obree, 46, twice broke the world hour record - in July 1993 and April 1994 - and was the individual pursuit world champion in 1993 and 1995.
His eagerly awaited ‘The Obree’s Way - A training manual for cyclists’ has just been launched and he will sign copies between 1-4pm.
He said: “I tell people not to have a training schedule because you can’t tell how the body is going to react to each training session.
“So I’m promoting the feel factor and seat-of-the-pants training, sensible diets and things like that, instead of laying down a whole training schedule, where you’ve got your massage and you’ve got to eat certain things at certain times.”
The book breaks down training into bite size chunks and the manual promises to ensure ‘cycling training will never be the same again’.
