    Team Sky Extends Partnership with TrainingPeaks as Official Supplier of Training Software for 2012

    PRWeb – Tue, Feb 14, 2012

    TrainingPeaks will be used by Team Sky Pro Cycling coaches and cyclists to monitor, analyze and plan fitness and performance.

    Lafayette, CO (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

    Team Sky Pro Cycling has extended their agreement with TrainingPeaks to be their official supplier of training software for the 2012 season. Building upon a successful implementation in 2011, Team Sky will continue to collect and monitor heart rate and power from each rider’s training and racing for analysis in TrainingPeaks by team coaches and staff. In addition to analysis, TrainingPeaks is used to plan each rider’s training program based on the fitness trends presented in the software.

    "TrainingPeaks has been invaluable for me as a coach with Team Sky,” says Bobby Julich, Team Sky Rider Coach. “TrainingPeaks is easy for our team members to use, and it gives me access to cutting edge metrics and charts which help me better analyze and plan. The system is infinitely more powerful as we enter the second year of data collection and analysis."

    Building on a successful first year partnership, team members including Olympic gold medalist Bradley Wiggins and 2011 Tour de France green jersey winner Mark Cavendish upload training and racing data from their SRM power meters directly to the TrainingPeaks.com training log. Team coaches, directors and medical staff then access and analyze the files from anywhere in the world for a multi-faceted team approach to monitoring and planning each athlete’s racing and training program.

    "We are proud to have our products selected for a second year by Team Sky," says Dirk Friel, Co-Founder and TrainingPeaks Chief Evangelist. "Their choice confirms the importance of TrainingPeaks as a platform for using science and technology to produce world-class results in the sport of cycling.”

    Throughout the 2012 cycling season, training and racing data from various Team Sky cyclists will be made available for public viewing and analysis on TrainingPeaks.com.
