shaper Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Last weekTSS 779.5IF 0.82 This weekTSS 922.0IF 0.68 After 3 weeks of endurance and LSD/LSR am back into build phase
Jurgens Smit Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 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 Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 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 weekTSS 514IF 0.60 Last week. The legs were still hurting and I was down on power.TSS 365IF 0.63
J Wakefield Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 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) You can do a shorter intensity session correctly and get a same and sometimes more value. 3.5 Hour ride typically around 170TSSPyramid intervals 1-4 and 4-1. 2 hours 165-168TSS.
Jurgens Smit Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 My right knee was bugging me so I took my tuesday session off. TSS 711IF - 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.
shaper Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 TSS 904.7IF 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 Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 TSS: 668IF: 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.
Jurgens Smit Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 past 2 weeks 0 Been pretty sick and finally starting to come right. It's sad to see your hard earned CTL points drop from 90 - 56
shaper Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 Have done my ITB so no running as part of my training, just cycle and swim TSS 654.7IF 0.69 Also watching my CTL drop.... depressing!!

Dont stress about that, its just what you said "dropping" just cause the line and value drops, doesn't mean your fitness does. Too many people chase or focus on CTL. Your fitness and training load you have built up isnt going anywhere.

Too many people chase or focus on CTL. Your fitness and training load you have built up isnt going anywhere. the more I'm reading your posts (here and twitter) the more I'm ignoring all the numbers and going on "feel" the only numbers I work on at the moment is FTP to determine workout intensity. For what it's worth I followed the cycleops 8 week power based program (IDT only) they gave away as part of the comp they ran earlier this year, combined with a long ride over weekends. I finished 2nd overall (1st in age) at the Daily Dispatch 50km last week. power training works even for newbies like me, so I can now justify spending 12k on an indoor trainer. now just to save up a bit and get a proper training plan done

Too many people chase or focus on CTL. Your fitness and training load you have built up isnt going anywhere.Watching CTL drop is figuratively depressing to see and know what you mean with regard to not loosing fitness as my tapers for full Ironman generally start 3 to 4 weeks prior to the event and being a data junkie have a good idea with regard to how much I know my CTL can drop and the time element before fitness is impacted, yet gaining form Still recovering from my ITB so last weeks numbers CTL 639.8IF 0.68
Spinnekop Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Watching CTL drop is figuratively depressing to seeYou have nooooo idea how depressing. Don'tgetsick!!! Worst I had it in 10 years.
s14phoenix Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 Not getting sick is so important... after a bit of a light cold I am still trying to work my way out of without overdoing it - it's extremely difficult holding back and not push harder Recent FTP test proved a 35w drop in ftp due to the cold -> I really hope all them lost ponies come back soon... So depressing...
