Of most credit to  the book is that it is very obviously a sound theoretical treatise, heavily based  on scientific truths, as well as Friel\u2019s own experience of having worked with  triathletes for many years. Yet it does not overplay its hand, forcing technical  scientific information on the reader and aspirant improver. Rather, it guides  decision-making for all situations, covering topics ranging from motivation (the  art) to metabolism (the science), always in a very clear, concise and practical  manner. As for scientists who work with athletes, the value is in appreciating  how Friel balances the complexity of the science of performance, with the  requirement to give athletes tangible, easily implementable advice, and this is  something all sports scientists can borrow from.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/velogear.com\/images\/vp_tri3.jpg\" width=\"440\" height=\"440\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>[Also, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trainingbible.com\/joesblog\/blog.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> for a link to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trainingbible.com\/joesblog\/blog.html\" target=\"_blank\">Joe Friel&#8217;s blog<\/a> &#8211; <em>ed<\/em>.]<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Triathlete&#8217;s Training Bible will make triathletes smarter, stronger and faster Review by Ross Tucker Joe Friel\u2019s Triathlete\u2019s Training Bible, now in its 3rd edition, has become an indispensable tool for triathletes of all levels wishing to improve their performance using evidence-based methods and principles.
