['Dale]

did VO2 training in zone 6 last night.

 

Threw up a little in the back of my throat.

 

Nothing like a bit of reflux to let you know you're maxxing it.

How is the recovery?

Yesterday at work it was quite bad at work, "day after physio", but on the bike the pain was non existing.

 

Good to be back on the bike getting the heart rate up. Painful, make no mistake.

IF I may ask, what are your guys CTL?

 

I was in the high 90's before injury and I tried to keep it there. think that was just a little too much for me.

 

Well I've dropped down to 60 now. with a moerse +TSB

[IdeJongh]

My CTL is around the lower 60s / high 50s AntonJ, TSB around +12 after some rest post magalies.

 

Should go negative on TSB after the weekend's rides

 

90s is moer high dude!!!

[Bianchisti]

 

FTP test this week sometime

Normally in 1st week of each month.

Do tell dude, how that went.

 

Been offline last couple of days. Seems you lot had some fun in here and more so on the bike.

Lekker. Good to hear.

Reg vir die "koue'te"

[Bianchisti]

779 TSS / 0.896 IF

 

Missing one weekend ride which will have made it a big week in anticipation of work putting a spanner in the mix next week.

[IdeJongh]

606 TSS / IF 0.77

 

Short intervals in the week, with a big ride on Saturday and short spin in the cradle today. Legs felt it today!

[rouxtjie]

494 TSS for last week...

I'm new to TSS and IF and all that, but I'm quite interested in the topic. I still have to read through all the posts in this thread, but I registered for the free 7-day period on Training Peaks today to test it out. I don't have a power meter, but I see they still calculate a TSS and IF, but based on my heart rate. I've only loaded my four 2014 Panorama stages thus far and below are the results with headings: stage number, distance, time, elevation gain, hrTSS and IF.

 

Stage 1 | 106km | 3:08 | 2530m | 306 | 0.93

Stage 2 | 85km | 2:22 | 1583m | 224 | 0.92

Stage 3 | 114km | 3:20 | 2830m | 248 | 0.81

Stage 4 | 38km | 1:03 | 697m | 113 | 0.98 (2 man TT)

 

I don't really know how this should compare therefore I assume I have to load other races and training rides too.

 

EDIT: I see I chopped off over Spitskop and Long Tom on stage 3!

Cool, welcome. over here we are a lot friendlier.

 

Remember that HR TSS arent quite as accurate, but at least, you will have a number to work with to measure your TSB.

 

send me a pm with your email address, I will forward you an excel spreadsheet where you could put in TSS and IF, which it then will calculate your CTL, ATL and TSB graphically.

 

Remember that you need to have an accurate heart rate threshold, training peaks would normally email this to you once it changes. If this is accurate in training peaks, your hrTSS will also be more accurate.

Thanks for the help, Anton. PM sent!

 

What software do you use?

When I loaded the Panorama files I did receive an email stating "Congratulations, you recently set a new threshold heart rate value. We recommend you update your zones in TrainingPeaks for optimal analysis." but I'm not sure if I should use it, because they just took the highest average heart rate over one hour during the race, which of course have ups and downs. I thought you should try to do a well paced one hour ride?
