New Training Bibles

Many athletes have contacted me asking when the new editions and "companions" to the old editions of the Triathlete's and Cyclist's Training Bibles will be available. They were supposed to be out on the first of January. Here's what my publisher has to say about their release...

The new Triathlete's Training Bible should start hitting shelves in another week or two. Amazon orders will probably start shipping early next week and books will begin appearing in bookstores within the next two weeks. Amazon almost always gets them first. I've already begun shipping the Tri Bible to bike/tri shops and to international distributors. It will be the same situation with the Cyclist's Training Bible. I think they will start arriving in book stores around the last week of February.

Grrr...I just got a copy of the Triathlete's Bible last November, hopefully it is not too out of date.

Was the Mountain Biker's Training Bible also updated?

You had mentioned in the past that you'd also have "errata" for the changes from one to the next.

What is the schedule on those?

That´s good news!
I see that the Cycling Bible was "upgraded".
For me as MTB marathon athlete which training bible is the best for me since the races are 80 to 100 km and around 4 hours.

Maybe this kind of effort is more like cycling? Right?

CrossCountry is much more shorter and more intense.

I am talking about this because I think more riders have the same doubt maybe you can give a good "upgrade" to the MTB trainning bible and add trainning information about marathons.

When will you launch the new MTB edition? ... =)

Best Regards

Nelson--No plans for a revised MTB Training Bible. I haven't coached a MTBer in 10 years so don't feel qualified to write about it now. Good luck!

Hi

I presume this is just referring to the US edition? When is it available from Amazon UK? I want to get it as a gift this week as I'm also taking him to the TCR show this weekend.

Cheers
