Jaco-fiets Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Currently CTL sitting at about 115 and FTP at 250w (last test done on road at 264w for 20 min). Hoping to ramp by about 5 CTL points a week from now till ironman.That is a seriously high CTL! I have read somewhere that some of the pro's do major events at a CTL of around 100 but then their TSB is a fairly high + value
'Kaze Pete Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 As of yesterday: CTL: 61ATL: 115 (busy coming down from 177 on 31/12)TSB: -49! (Improved from -115 on 1/1) Still a way to go to improve CTL, but am OK with TSB being so low although it will improve towards the end of Jan as I'm not going to be chasing any stupid Strava challenges while being unfit

I have read somewhere that some of the pro's do major events at a CTL of around 100 but then their TSB is a fairly high + valueAveraging around 15 hrs a week, but come to think of it that CTL is 3 disciplines and not just bike.
Jaco-fiets Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Averaging around 15 hrs a week, but come to think of it that CTL is 3 disciplines and not just bike.Interesting! Say I want to incorporate some trail running into my program, how do I work out what that accumulated effect is on CTL?
Jono Waddell Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Interesting! Say I want to incorporate some trail running into my program, how do I work out what that accumulated effect is on CTL?I think that within training peaks performance management chart, there is a setting.
Frosty Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 I took a complete break after the 947, for two weeks. In that time, my CTL dropped by 31.7% and took me the whole of December to get back to the same level (on 29-Dec). Currently on an active recovery week before I start phase 2, recover, then phase 3, recover again and finally phase 4 before I try smash the April racing calendar. Phase 2 starts with Gauteng champs - that could hurt in the first week after recovery.
Jracer57 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I think that within training peaks performance management chart, there is a setting.Just add a planned workout and input expected TSS

Well done anyway! Going at 90-100 CTL for continuous periods can really be tough on the body, be careful of injury.

Patchelicious Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Been between 650 and 770 this year so far, work travelling has been getting in the way.Need to ramp a bit
