weekly tss score

[stringbean]

I take my hat off to you Zilla.Been struggling to hit 500 thru winter.Any more than that and those divorce papers will be in front of me before I can blink.

I think the number is over 400/week for marginal gains.

Does TSS mean:

 

Total Strava Segments

Tosser Stealing Segments

Turquoise Septic Sitbones

Twitchy Short Sprints

 

I did steal one of Fand's segments last week, and I have been spending plenty hours in the saddle. Unfortunately my sprinting sucks...

I think my TSS score is about 6 before I pass out then

 

Don't worry - the South Easter will start soon, and then you can claim all segments in your new neighbourhood from the other side!

Anyone else using polarpersonaltrainer?

 

Also uses similar to TSS, but called training load, really works well,

 

Shows you nicely when you really need to have a rest if you go into the red

 

Green = Give it horns

Yellow = Go, but not that hard

Red = take a day off

Had a great one of those on Thursday last week - 4 segments at over 50km/h

Okay! So I figured it out. When I eventually found it my TSS was at exactly 35.2 for the 20 minute all out effort. What's the chances of that being absolutely correct??

 

It is not 100% correct but for a Powercal it is correct. remember a Powercal isnt working off strain gauges its off heart rate and algerythems. whatever you have adjusted it to in order to get 35 keep it there.

[Sworks20]

Those massive TSS scores may only happen once or twice a year, so it's more of an exception than a rule.

 

Over winter I was riding about 750 - 850 TSS weeks, but with a lot of MTB that may have been underestimated due to the powercal strap. Awaiting Quarq Quattro to sort that out and plan my CTL better with dual disciplines.

 

If anything with a Powercal it has overestimated it not under.

[Sworks20]

For accurate HR TSS use Golden cheetah as it gives you a TRMPS based PMC.

I'll happily send you my files! hahaha

 

Here is an example. Its consistantly about 25-50% of what I actually ride at - power spikes aside (which mess with my curve enormously.)

 

and the corresponding workout: http://app.strava.com/activities/80175671

Zilla: That is the point I am trying to make in an earlier post where I said that the spikes - 2554w in your case are a huge error and all those spikes - regardless of amount of seconds all add up over a ride and therefore throws your average Watts / TSS and IF out. Delete those spikes and your TSS and IF drop.

 

Take those increases over a period and your TSb, CTL and ATL are out considerably.

 

On the strava point the software picks up your PM / Powercal readings and doesnt use its own algerythems to predict the power average on segments.

 

I am in no way saying what you doing is wrong and not that you pushing out those scores weekly as I know you train alot and are committed but when you really know want the most accurate data and analyses there of everything has to be spot on which in most cases peoples arent.

 

As I am sure you know, its not about putting your file into WKO+ and going "Wow I pused 400w for 10min and a score of .976 for a 5 hour ride. that alone is not right before analysing the file(s)

 

Reading some of the scores returned on rides in this thread is a simple tell tale that their data is wrong.

What you mean? Anything less and you just maintaining your shape?

[Bianchisti]

And what is WKO+????
