I did 3x10min working on my threshold this morning and ended up with 93 TSS. Would that be working sufficiently hard enough to stress the body for improvement?

 

Also consider rolling at 87-93 percent of FTP to raise fitness

Sweet spot

Definitely enough stress, at threshold intervals should range 8 - 15/20 min to have any adaptions to muscle.

 

Last night could only ride 8min at FTP for 3sets, finished workout with 63TSS in 54min, very little.

I get about the same score (90-95) on a 3x10 Threshhold session in an hour and a bit. About 120 for a multi Interval 1h30 session. So looks about right. Current block has me on about 900-950 per week.

Ouch! Enjoy! :blink:

Sounds like your levels are not set properly...

1 hour at threshold = 100 tss points

30min = 50 points giving you 40 points from your warm up an cool down all in a hour and a bit......

 

So your FTP may be 300w but you have it set at 280w, then you actually ride at 300w for the 3x10min intervals, thus accumulating way more points than you actually are earning...

900 to 950 per week is a lot, how many hours riding is that?

Yeah sorry, make a small calc error. Is currently set for 700-800 per week. This week was 770 in 13hours. FPT is set at 295w and it is accurate, did test recently.
