It’s a deep dive into TrainingPeaks, all the features, and of course, Dirks Pro Cycling career.

I first discovered Joe back in 2011, when I started training for triathlons, I bought his world famous book, the Triathlon Training Bible,  and it truly was my triathlon training bible.   This was his second of over 14 books and his new book, Ride Inside, is October 2020. You can pre-order it on VeloPress. Perfect timing as many of us have been riding inside these past few months on Zwift, Peloton, and Rouvey.

Joe Friel is one of the most trusted endurance sports coach in the world. His books have helped cyclists, triathletes, masters athletes, novices, and pros reach their training and racing goals. His Training Bible books for road cyclists, mountain bikers, and triathletes are used by several national sports federations to train their coaches A few of his bestselling titles include Fast After 50, Power Meter Handbook, Going Long and so many more.

On this episode of Marni on the Move I sync up with Joe about his new book,Ride Inside,  and discover several really great training tips for riding indoors. Of course I get the inside scoop on where training, coaching and training peaks began, Joe shares a few of his core training principles. We talk about the coaching and virtual workshops he has been offering to triathlon clubs during COVID.  We also talk about his favorite Olympic distance race series, USTS, the importance of rest, recovery and easy training and a few secrets for success to training and racing as we age!
