We touch on Joe trialling in one of the very first bike Power Meters. The founding of training peaks in 1999, the growth of triathlon coaching in the sport over the last several decades and we look at key physical performance endurance training principles including some of the most well known and loved features of training peaks including fatigue, fitness, form and interpretation of training stress score.
