weekly tss score

[shaper]

Are you still awake?

Yep very much so, tonight is just a 1hr recovery spin

[Jurgens Smit]

I find that tss is on the high side when I use my powercal on the MTB, however I do correct any spikes etc that causes power spikes.

 

Do you recalibrate your pm when you swap bikes?

 

My saturday ride was 3:31 mtb ride at .65 IF (155bpm) on HR only = 179 hrTSS

My Sunday ride was 1:48 at .78 IF (158 bpm) TSS = 111

[Veebee]

TSS 709

IF .72

 

Did a long slow on Saturday and some climbing yesterday so just the weekend was 430 TSS.

 

Wish I could maintain this but I now have 2 backpacking trips to the Berg planned for the next 2 months so will have to put focus on that. Well the legs will just get stronger by carrying 22+kg around at altitude.

I calibrate every power meter I have say 15min into every ride(to compensate for some temp drift)...except the powercal for mtb...calibrating it has no effect.

Where are you hiking?

Where are you hiking?

End July - Bushmans Nek to Tarn Caves. This is an easier hike.

 

End August - up Mweni Pass. This is long n hard. We climb over 1000m elevation in just about 3km of walking...

ERG mode is set wattage right? If so why are there drops to 0w or did you stop pedaling for bits?

I've been reading and seems like if Bluetooth on garmin is on, this might happen. Will see tomorrow evening how it goes with Bloutand turned off.

A question for John, seeing that you guys have testing facilities in JHB and CPT.

 

Is there a difference in FTPs done at sea level and that at altitude, even after time given for adjustment?

 

All my PPOs PB have been set in when riding in CPT, about 5-7% on shorter burst above what I get here in JHB.

 

So my question I suppose is.

 

If an athletes lives in JHB for 6months, test FTP, then goes to CPT and lives there for 6 months and tests again would the figures match? (excluding all other factors like training and diet, to isolate the answer)

 

Do I need to change my jetting?
