Joe Friel wrote The Cyclist's Training Bible — the book that taught a generation of amateur cyclists how to think about periodisation, training stress, and the structure of a season. Co-founder of TrainingPeaks and former chairman of the USA Triathlon National Coaching Commission, he is the bridge between sports science and the home-trainer cyclist trying to peak for one event a year. Most modern amateur coaching software still leans on his vocabulary: periodisation, A/B/C races, base, build, peak, recovery weeks.
