Joe Friel

This weekend I attended an endurance meeting at B & L. This meeting was sort of on the basic side and the audience was well rounded. Joe Friel, in my opinion, is a very well rounded business man /coach. He was the first coach in the U.S. to go public with endurance coaching. He has written many books, has online newsletters, has coaches that coach his philosophy under him.

At this lecture he basically taught us what Tudor Bompa learned in the 60's and has incorporated it into his own. His lecture this weekend was on the "training triad". This is where an athlete, whether you are competitive or not, should start planning their yearly plan. An athletes training triad consists of Endurance, Speed Skill and Force. Inbetween these are muscular endurance, anaerobic endurance and power. This triad consists of The Performance Abilities.

I will describe more about this next:
Have a healthy day!
