Listening to the Body to Train More Efficiently: Garmin x TrainingPeaks x AG Insurance - Soudal

At AG Insurance - Soudal, we are always looking for ways to better understand and support our athletes. Together with Garmin and TrainingPeaks, we are now taking another important step forward.

By using Garmin Connect Menstrual Cycle Tracking, our riders can log their cycle, which is then seamlessly integrated into TrainingPeaks. This provides our coaches with valuable additional data to combine with training and daily monitoring. As coach Martijn Kuisters explains:

“This new feature from Garmin and TrainingPeaks allows us to bring all data into a single platform, where we track the menstrual cycle over time to identify patterns and respond based on each individual’s needs. Our team has been doing this for some time, and the new feature makes it easier than ever.

Thanks to the integration of Garmin Connect Menstrual Cycle Tracking, we can easily compare this information with training data and daily monitoring. This enables us to adjust training loads at certain points in the cycle, which are different for every rider, or adapt cooling strategies during single-day and multi-day races. In the end, it helps us to be even more precise in supporting our athletes.”

With this collaboration, we show how innovation and science can go hand in hand with performance, ensuring our riders have the best possible tools to keep growing.

“We are excited to work with TrainingPeaks on this new integration. Women’s Health is a big focus for us, and we believe this collaboration will help even more female athletes take their health and training into their own hands.

"At TrainingPeaks, we’re committed to providing athletes and coaches with the most impactful data to optimize training and performance. With the recent integration of Garmin Connect Menstrual Health Tracking, we’ve taken an important step forward in supporting female athletes by making cycle tracking data visible directly within TrainingPeaks. This allows coaches and athletes to better understand how physiological changes throughout the menstrual cycle can influence training, recovery, and performance.

By collaborating with Garmin and working alongside AG Insurance–Soudal, we’ve already seen how valuable this data can be at the highest level of the sport. Showcasing this integration with one of the world’s top women’s cycling teams has demonstrated how actionable insights can be used for both day-to-day training and in preparing for peak competition.
