British Cycling has extended its current partnership with training software supplier, TrainingPeaks up until 2020.
The continued agreement – first signed in 2012, making it one of the national governing body’s longest-standing – will see TrainingPeaks continue to provide Great Britain Cycling Team athletes and coaches, as well as British Cycling members, the ability to precisely track and analyse their training.
Dirk Friel, TrainingPeaks co-founder and Chief Evangelist, said: “TrainingPeaks is proud to continue providing British Cycling with the very best in endurance training software. Our mission is to equip athletes and coaches with the tools necessary to train smarter, confidently analyse their data, and maximise their performance on race day.”
TrainingPeaks provides athletes and coaches with the tools needed to easily upload their training data, which can then be precisely analysed by coaches and sports scientists to improve their customised training programmes. British Cycling members will be able to use TrainingPeaks to enhance their riding through sharing favourite workouts and routes and providing the motivation needed to help them achieve their goals, whilst club coaches will also benefit through the ability to provide structured workouts and schedule rides.
British Cycling’s Performance Director, Stephen Park said: “TrainingPeaks has provided us with a cutting-edge data management system for the last seven years – from detailed analysis reports to simple online and mobile logging options for our elite riders.
“The software has helped our coaches and riders better understand what type of training drives success, and I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together for the rest of 2019, for both the Great Britain Cycling Team and British Cycling members who want to get the most out of their riding regardless of their goals.”
