New Edition of The Triathlete’s Training Bible – Available January 2024

December 27, 2023

After years of research, sports science updates, and coaching, I’ve completely updated my comprehensive training guide, The Triathlete’s Training Bible, in a new fifth edition. Available this January, you can order now to get yourself ready for spring training and race preparation.

The new 5th edition has been updated to include:

  • A whole new intensity program that allows athletes to choose which methodology works best in determining zones
  • An emphasis on low-intensity training as a way to build greater fitness without going hard too often
  • An option to use a polarized approach to training, which has been shown to be very effective for athletes of all abilities
  • An introduction to a streamlined method for building a training plan, including periodization on demand
  • An increased emphasis on lifestyle stress and how it is reflected in heart rate variability
  • The use of heart rate variability to help make training decisions on the fly
  • An updated glossary of terms commonly used in triathlon training

The Triathlete’s Training Bible is the bestselling and most comprehensive guide for aspiring and experienced triathletes. This new edition incorporates new training principles and the latest science to help you train smarter than ever.

Books are available January 2, 2024, through Ulysses Press and other retailers.
