weekly tss score

[Spinnekop]

That is a lot of TSS's for a 'funrider'... nicely done! Consistency is the thing hey

 

Wise words. Something not many people realise.

welcome back mwnn

[fandacious]

Where are you doing these long rides on a mtb? Or are you doing it on the road? Do you have road bike as well?

 

this one was on the road. Yep I have a road bike as well. Needed the hard ride yesterday, so took the MTB instead.

 

PM me if you want info on the rides

Week 7 - 13 July: TSS 0 and IF 0

 

So much for consistency!

 

But I'm back on the bike this week with total 4 hours thus far in two rides. Now I must just get the software to calculate my TSS and IF. I'm thinking of Golden Cheetah.

was saying to someone yesterday. You see so many cyclists come up and win league one year, and then you never hear of them again. Life keeps getting in the way.

 

I think to keep on keeping on for years on end takes a lot of dedication.

 

dont be too down on yourself. These weeks happen now and then. And riding isnt about accumulating TSS points. Its about having fun being on a bike

Quick serious question to the guys in the know.

 

TSS for the week before a serious race. What are we looking at total?

I know what a coach here in Pta told me.....would like to find out who does what out there....

for me, its not just TSS before a race, but also days off the bike

No really answering your Q, but I do know that you shouldnt ride 2 days before the event, ie if race are on the saturday, ride Tuesday, Wednesday all recovery, ie 30 TSS or lower and then do a leg opener on the friday say not greater than 80 TSS

If you don't mind sharing....what is your regime? TSS wise and which days when and what.

 

Race day Saturday.

Off on Thursday and Monday. Total TSS of 150

ergh - my approach is very unscientific, and tailored specifically to how my body reacts. If race day is saturday, I'll go out mon & tue, maybe wed, then rest thurs & fri

 

Prolly around 250-350 tss on the first 3 days of the week.

 

That said, its been so long since I last raced, Im kinda using races as training now anyways. The next "big" race is die burger, so i'll prolly follow that formula that week

30 tss? thats like from my house to the estate gate and back home. I take about an hour just to warm up :/

With injury stepping in, this is the norm for me lately.

 

Slowly heading back to my desired CTL before TB.

so we all know spinnekop is sitting on a CTL of 100 (bastard!!) - whats your desired CTL for TB?

Ja, its really slow. cant believe it either, but the actual TSS for those rides were 21 (1hour recovery) must say difficult to keep the power down.

 

need those rides, atleast I phone my friends just starting out and tell them we should definitely ride this week, at least twice

90, but also dont want to overdo it, rather be a bit fresh than over trained(but it never feels like that is possible), I was hovering at high 90's for a few weeks and boom, injury.
