[Veebee]

midweek didn't go to plan, but made up some ground on Saturday.

 

Total:

TSS: 513

IF: 0.65

 

Saturday ride - TSS 285 / IF .80

[Jurgens Smit]

This was a recovery week to let those intervals I've been doing settle in, so mostly longer easier outdoor rides.

 

I still have some minor discomfort in my chest and shoulder from my fall last weekend.

 

TSS 564.1

IF 0.71

9:52:26

[Jurgens Smit]

A quick question, how long does it take you guys to raise your CTL by say 10points?

 

I have had some bad luck in my schedule the past few months and struggle to get it over high 70s. Something normally happens causing me to miss a long ride and then it just drops.

TSS 800.9

IF 0.81

 

Doing a lot of running at the moment, building up to the CPT marathon... but also fitting in a few cycling workouts

CTL will always have a ceiling per person/athlete. Unless you can do for argument sakes 85 TSS/Day you wont go over your current or where you typically stabilise. 

 

Rather get consistent quality in that chase CTL.

Yeah, my biggest issue is getting those consistent long rides in.

 

Most of the rides I miss are the 3-4hr long rides that do the most for you(TSS wise)

[Veebee]

I did a 3 day hike over Bushmans Pass 2 weeks ago and that hurt me.

Tracked with with HR and it was a TSS of 307 for 5 hours of walking.

 

Previous week

TSS 514

IF 0.60

 

Last week. The legs were still hurting and I was down on power.

TSS 365

IF 0.63

You can do a shorter intensity session correctly and get a same and sometimes more value.

 

3.5 Hour ride typically around 170TSS

Pyramid intervals 1-4 and 4-1. 2 hours 165-168TSS.

 

 

[Jurgens Smit]

My right knee was bugging me so I took my tuesday session off.

 

TSS 711

IF - 0.8

 

Finally my CTL stays in the 80's after rest days

 

Did a nice hill climb day yesterday, 3:45 giving me 300 TSS, was pretty tough.

 

Also, I think I'm doing a FTP test this week or next week, depending on my work schedule.

TSS 904.7

IF 0.81

 

Was a solid week of training, had a good hard long ride on Saturday with some PB on my run yesterday, although feel like I tweaked my ITB...... this week might turn into a forced rest week 

[Veebee]

TSS: 668

IF: 0.69

 

I am not enjoy intervals at the moment and no motivation to go hard on the trainer, so alot of last week was from the holiday and saturday's long ride.

 

Work stress is just killing my vibe.
