Giving fans access to cycling based strengthening and mobility sessions, plus nutrition advice from the team’s experts.

On Friday, May 22nd Team Bahrain McLaren will launch #TrainAsOne, a training program for cyclists and hosted by the team’s experts alongside riders.

The first series, hosted by Team Bahrain McLaren’s lead physiotherapist Alice Rawlinson, will show participants a series of strengthening and mobility exercises that will benefit riders at all levels. Each of the live sessions will also feature a training buddy - one of the team’s riders. Additionally, fans will receive tips on nutrition from the team’s dietitian Laura Martinelli. 

“Due to the current circumstances, more and more people are riding bikes to stay fit and healthy, which is great news for the sport. The ‘Train As One’ program is all about helping cyclists get the most out of their time on the bike by giving them insight into the off-bike training we do with our pro riders”. Says Alice Rawlinson, Lead Physiotherapist at Team Bahrain McLaren.

The idea for the program came about from feedback received by staff members who are benefiting from the team’s weekly internal ‘virtual’ training session.

The program starts on May 22nd and consists of two 30-minute sessions a week. To participate, visit Team Bahrain McLaren’s Instagram Live channel at 5 p.m. CET every Monday and Friday from 22nd May until 15th June.

For those who can’t make the live sessions, they can watch them later on Team Bahrain McLaren’s IGTV and Facebook page.

An overview of that participants will learn:
