Team Visma | Lease a Bike announces new partnership with TrainingPeaks
Team Visma | Lease a Bike has found a new partner in TrainingPeaks, a platform that helps the team create, schedule, track, and analyze workouts, fully tailored to the specific needs of our riders.
TrainingPeaks helps athletes of all levels achieve their goals with customizable training plans, performance analysis, and integration with their favorite devices. Although Team Visma | Lease a Bike has already been using TrainingPeaks' tools, this collaboration takes things a step further.
With the integration of TrainingPeaks into The Athlete's FoodCoach app, both riders and coaches can automatically upload real-time training and race data into the app. Planned data is then compared with the actual values recorded. This allows the riders’ nutrition to be seamlessly adapted to their unique training plans and daily reality.
As part of the new partnership, Team Visma | Lease a Bike will also launch a pilot program where TrainingPeaks coaches will test The Athlete’s FoodCoach cockpit software, providing valuable feedback to enhance its functionality. Additionally, a unique blog series will be introduced on the TrainingPeaks website, offering insights into the integrated training and nutrition approach, complete with links to specialized nutrition plans.
"The nutrition plan in The Athlete’s FoodCoach app is adjusted in no time to match a rider's needs"
“The nutrition plan in The Athlete’s FoodCoach app is adjusted in no time to match a rider's needs,” says Martijn Redegeld, Performance Nutritionist at Team Visma | Lease a Bike. “If a training or race, for example, turns out to be longer or more intense than expected, the remaining meals for that day will be increased. In this way, we ensure optimal recovery and targeted adaptation at all times, enabling our riders to deliver top performances day after day.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with Team Visma | Lease a Bike as their official training software provider, adding to our extensive list of UCI professional teams that trust TrainingPeaks to help them perform at the highest level and compete on the world stage,” said Dirk Friel, TrainingPeaks co-founder and Chief Evangelist. “Team Visma | Lease a Bike is a top-class organization with some of the best riders in the world, and we’re honored to know that their coaches rely our platform to plan, track and analyze all aspects of team training.”
