Duane_Bosch Posted October 24, 2019 Share A quick question on TSS I see TP has and option to show hrTSS and TSS I assume the hrTSS is calculated via the hear rate numbers, where does the TSS figure come from? Power?As far as i can tell it comes from your power meter. The other night I did a ride on my trainer. I couldn't get my HR monitor to synch but I still got a TSS score.Tuesday and this morning I did spinning classes and got HR tss scores there. No power meters in the spinning classGonna try do a session on the trainer now with HR monitor and see. Will report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markellis Posted October 24, 2019 Share Ok cool thanks, my hrTSS is much higher than my TSS just wondering why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane_Bosch Posted October 24, 2019 Share Ok cool thanks, my hrTSS is much higher than my TSS just wondering whyYeah mine too from what I can tell. The highest/best score is the correct one tho. First rule of metrics. Edited October 24, 2019 by Duane_Bosch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJTerblanche Posted October 24, 2019 Share You guys are training a lot.I got seriously unfit in August/September after training diligently throughout the winter on the indoor trainer I was doing around 350 TSS per week for May, June and July.Then I almost started getting my mojo back end of August but took more time of the bike.End of September I really had to start training again (2 months away from DC) and found my fitness really took a big dive.FTP down 10% and lacking endurance. Week 1 (15/07 - 21/07): 7h50 / TSS 461Week 2 (22/07): 5h36 / TSS 356Week 3 (29/07): 2h10 / TSS 98Week 4 (05/08): 0h00 / TSS 0Week 5 (12/08): 0h00 / TSS 0Week 6 (19/08): 0h55 / TSS 29Week 7 (26/08): 3h48 / TSS 319 (Hard 2h43 race this week)Week 8 (02/09): 6h17 / TSS 371Week 9 (09/09): 1h00 / TSS 79Week 10 (16/09): 0h00 / TSS 0Week 11 (23/09): 8h19 / TSS 502Week 12 (30/09): 10h48 / TSS 803Week 13 (07/09): 5h38 / TSS 487Week 14 (14/09): 3h57 / TSS 307 (recovering a bit from fatigue this week).Current week (Thursday): 4h43 / TSS 370 I am now back to where I was end of July, I think Edit: Word choice not the best, replaced with dive Edited October 24, 2019 by DJTerblanche Duane_Bosch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehosefat Posted October 24, 2019 Share TSS is based on Power, hrTSS is based on Heart Rate, rTSS is based on running pace (etc. Training Peaks has a number of different TSS measures). TSS should be the most accurate and consistent but does require yout FTP setting to be correct. Ok cool thanks, my hrTSS is much higher than my TSS just wondering why That usually happens when your Heart Rate and/or Power zones are not set correctly. If you have them set up correctly the numbers should be pretty similar (although hrTSS will be a bit more variable because HR at a specific power can drift or be higher or lower depending on how fresh or fatigued you are).

dirtypot Posted October 24, 2019 Share I haven't looked at my TSS in ages. My last few weeks have been: 670, 838, 950, 633, 753, 686, 653, 898 and 705. Feels kind of all over the place when I look at it now. DJTerblanche 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane_Bosch Posted October 24, 2019 Share My FTP was wrong on TP, the two figures arw much closer now. thanks for the helpwas it higher or lower than it should have been? AH!! Ok. My ftp on TP was waaaaay higher than it should be. Makes sense now. The higher your ftp is the harder you can work therefore the less TSS for a given effort. Sorry this stuff is all new to me.

cadenceblur Posted October 24, 2019 Share Started commuting and my TSS is increasing. Rode in the last four days and I'm sitting on 688 for the week thus far..Taking a break tomorrow and maybe Saturday as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
