weekly tss score

[NordicElf]

I've just signed up for a training peaks trial - I don't have a power meter - so not sure if the data is useful without one... so mine are heart rate TSS. Still trying to figure out how to read the graphs etc.

Here are my last few weeks TSS

 

961.6

822.0

757.0

876.2

1139.3 

 

I don't know what they mean. Also this last week was a bit of a rest week... but I did back to back 5 hours on the weekend... 

(Most recent at the bottom)

 

So it turns out these numbers were wrong. I let training peaks set my threshold and it under estimated it. I changed it to my LTHR from an FTP I did in September and then recalculated all my workouts...

 

 

762.4

872.9

740.5

624.1

555.0

589.4

769.1

Those are still good numbers though.

 

Just remember it's not always about big TSS numbers, but the very important resting too!

 

This weekend is a race and I probably won't do more than 300 combined up until Saturday.

Especially seeing I'm over 40. I will admit to being a little disappointed to see the numbers drop! Hehe but I checked my CTL ramp rate and it looks good 7,9 for the last 7 days. Feeling good about my training. So grateful for this forum, learnt so much in the last few days!

I don't normally check my weekly TSS And IF

How do you calculate your weekly TSS and IF totals if your training software does not automatically calculate it on a weekly / monthly basis from your training logs?

 

I assume you just add up each rides TSS and IF for the week?

 

Thought i had a good week last week doing some climb challenges on the CVT indoor program but adding up everything only got:

 

382 and  6.12

 

Only one was a hard effort 100.7 / 0.79 and the rest were all endurance and recovery level

 

So puts the scores i see posted here in perspective, you lot train hard

been taking it easy for the last two weeks, i felt a bit drained after 70.3

401 & 408 respectively.

numbers should stay in same range range for the next few weeks as I training for 2 Oceans and scores for running are a bit lower compared to cycling.

TSS for 7 days from previous Thursday 1934! Hehe did a ride from Sun City to Cape Town.

 

The pink line on my PMC went veeeerrryyy high.

 

Doing Argus on Sunday, with very low expectations! ????

[Jakkals.]

Easy week on the bike TSS 556, but with little sleep, it felt like a tough week.

[fanievb]

slowly getting back on the bike (running sucks)

 

last 3 weeks

599 (2 Oceans week)

 

243 

 

375 

[Jakkals.]

Last week 700TSS @ 0.89IF

 

Tired and taking it easier this week.

[NotSoBigBen]

Last week

 

973 TSS

0.73 IF

 

Included Delta Park 6hr (101k's) Saturday and Route 42 79k Sunday 3:42 .... happy with that will also take a relatively easy week, normal distance but not too hard

[Spinnekop]

Shane Archbold from Bora Argon team for the week.

 

Not bad.......

Guy was clearly dragging his feet a bit. Alright for a rest week though.

Hi guys, quick question on the calculation of the TSShr;

 

What formula are you using? I've seen a table in a TP blog, but the values seem a bit strange (can't find the link now). I use the formula: (Average HR ÷ Functional threshold HR x 100) x (Time in minutes ÷ 60)

 

Is that correct looking at the examples below?

 

(a) 1h at threshold = (ave. 165 ÷ threshold 165 x 100) x (60 ÷ 60) = 100 TSS [emoji818] Correct and makes sense

 

(b) 1h at 80% of threshold = (ave. 132 ÷ threshold 165 x 100) x (60 ÷ 60) = 80 TSS [emoji780] Not sure

 

For the second example, the TP table shows about 70 instead of my 80. What would your TSS be riding for 1 hour at 80% of threshold?

[awesme]

As I understand it if you were at 80% of FTP for a hour then that would be TSS=80

 

You get allocated a TSS of 100 if you maintained FTP for a full hour.

Ok thanks awesme! I have it like that currently.

[awesme]

hmmmmm

 

I just noticed you're talking about TSShr...

 

Might be wrong, as I know TSS based on power/FTP/wattage is calc as per my response.
