Training Better With Age: Optimal Strategies with Joe Friel

Get Fast Podcast - Triathlon, Ironman & Cycling Coaching Advice

AUDIO ISSUES: Please note we had audio issues with the first 6 minutes of this episode, specifically minutes 4-6 the audio is very choppy but then it clears up for the rest of the episode.

We also had video failure for those who like to watch, the episode is still up on youtube but there is no video after the 6 minute mark.

Regardless, we were so excited to have Joe Friel back on the podcast. He is one of the most renowned thinkers in the world when it comes to training for the ageing athlete, with specific works including his book "Faster After 50".

He is a world class triathlon coach and author of several other books on endurance sports training, including "The Triathlete's Training Bible" and "The Cyclist's Training Bible." He is also the founder of TrainingPeaks, a popular software for tracking and analyzing training data. Friel has worked with athletes of all levels, from beginners to Olympians, and is considered an expert in the field of endurance sports training.
