This week, James is joined by cycling coaching guru Joe Friel. Joe started coaching amateur and elite riders in the US in the 1980s, before becoming a household name in training in 1996 as author of The Cyclist's Training Bible, arguably the most successful cycling training guide of all time and still in print today in its fifth addition. In 1999 Joe founded TrainingPeaks with son Dirk and friend Gear Fisher, the training and analysis platform that most would agree still sets the bar for digital coaching tools, used by WorldTour pros and amateurs alike. This summer, Joe released his new book High-Performance Cyclist, and here he discusses many of its themes, including how to ride slower to get faster and measuring progress with on easy metric, to the importance of sleep and eating tricks for weight loss.

Joe Friel's latest book, High Performance Cyclist (Bloomsbury) is available to buy here.
