are you sure your FTP isnt set too high?

 

No I dont think so, I still manage to do good rides above 0.9 for say 2.5h.

 

If it was set to high, I would've been worried. then there is really no power in these toothpicks

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....

 

Going on the Joe Friel advice, you should aim to reduce your CTL about 10% from the peak to the day before the race (so if you peak at 75 then reduce your training load systematically to hit 67.5 before raceday)

 

Then also try and get your form positive about a week before the event and around 20 on the day before the race.

Does anybody know about SportTracks and the Training Load plugin? They seem to use TRIMP (heart rate based activity scores or TRaining IMPulse) and I'm not sure if it's the same as TSS.

You can also use it on golden cheetah to manage TSB

Week not done yet, but jock was TSS450 IF 0.93, TSS150 from midweek spins. Maybe I'll crank a little ride tomorrow too....

 

Great IF! So how was your first Jock? And in VA too!

Was good, the VA group was only like 20 guys, and I wasn't keen to get dropped and solo the whole bloody thing, so I dropped back to AL....... only to end up TTing on my own most of the way anyway. Overall results not up yet, but looks like a top20 AL, happy with that. Will go update on the Jock thread. Was lekker though... :)

I installed Cheetah now, but they also seem to be using TRIMP? And how does TSB compare to TSS?
