About TrainingBible UK
TrainingBible Coaching UK was launched in May 2008 and as a direct response to a meeting between Joe Friel and Rob Griffiths in November 2007. Joe had described the coaching business he had set up in the US some 2 years earlier. Rob has been a fan of the TrainingBible books with their science based philosophy and approach to endurance sports training for many years, and he was impressed by the type of organisation Joe had described. An organisation based on the principles of a sound and proven methodology that has and continues to research the very latest thinking in endurance sports coaching. So In May 2008 Rob visited Joe and Adam Zucco at their Chicago office and started to plan the launch of TrainingBible Coaching in the UK.
With the continuous training of their coaching team in the science and art of training TrainingBible Coaching UK (TBCUK) has the lofty goal of becoming the UK's Premier endurance sports coaching company.

Whist TrainingBible Coaching is growing steadily its continued focus is on delivering a fantastic service to its athlete clients through local, highly trained and experienced coaches.
The TrainingBible Legacy
The name "TrainingBible" came from Joe Friel's popular series of books - The Cyclist's TrainingBible (1995), The Triathletes TrainingBible (1997) and The Mountain Biker's TrainingBible (1998). The first book in the series provided the names to follow for the others. Cycling stage races have commonly provided a "race bible" for the competitors. This provides everything the riders need including detailed course maps, race rules, daily logistics and more. Just as these race bibles were intended to thoroughly prepare the athlete for the logistics of the race, the TrainingBible books were written to completely prepare the athlete for the physical demands of the race. The second edition of all three TrainingBible books are available amongst other are all available from our shop.
