World recognised endurance sport coach, Joe Friel, has ‘completely rewritten the world’s most recognized guide to triathlon’ – The Triathlete’s Training Bible. Beginning from a blank page, Coach Friel rewrote his bible of triathlon to reflect ‘recent and rapid changes in endurance sports science and practice’.
The new edition of the popular book includes new ways to personalize training, speed recovery, boost strength, improve skills and technique, use power meters for cycling and running, save time, and ‘cut out the noise in a flood of training data’. The all-new fourth edition of The Triathlete’s Training Bible focuses on the best ways for triathletes of any level to improve in the swim, bike, run sport and meet their challenging race goals.
The Triathlete’s Training Bible, 4th Ed, and its newly updated companion, The Triathlete’s Training Diary, are now available in bookstores, in triathlon shops, and online.
The Triathlete’s Training Bible is billed as the best-selling and most comprehensive guide for aspiring and experienced triathletes. Joe Friel is one of the most trusted coaches in the world, and his triathlon training program has helped hundreds of thousands find success in the sport of triathlon. He has completely rewritten this new fourth edition of The Triathlete’s Training Bible to incorporate new training principles and help athletes train smarter.
This new edition equips triathletes of all abilities with the detail they should consider when planning a season, lining up a week of workouts, or preparing for race day. Joe guides triathletes to develop their own personalized triathlon training program, and
- Become a better swimmer, cyclist, and runner
