Jurgens Smit Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 Hopefully someone can help here. I have been off the bike since 23 September due to an accident. I restarted my training on 06 Nov only to get bronchitis on the 12th and now been a week in hospital with Pneumonia. It’s safe to say my ftp is non existent at this stage and I’ll still be off the bike to 3rd week in December to be on the safe side for my heart. When I start training again it’ll probably be a week or 2 at zone 1/2 then a week introducing tempo intervals and then only maybe week 4 some ftp intervals again. How long before I can realistically be where I was before I crashed? I’m hoping I’ll be able to train in my current zones again after a month. Is that too optimistic?
Audible Anarchy Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 Around 8-12 weeks? 6 odd weeks of getting going again / building a base all sub threshold and once you start feeling like your old self, another 4 to 6 odd of regular training and some z5 / z6 action Everbody’s different of course... I had a knee injury in beg august and couldnt even bend my knee for 4 / 5 weeks... lost around 25% of ftp... and then came back to ride a pb last week at 94.7. So... *tries to do maths in head... 10 weeks or so? Just focus on consistency at first, listen to your body and start slow - setbacks suck and destroy the motivation big time.
Jaco-fiets Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 Question: What IF or TSS is considered a hard workout that warrants a recovery/ active recovery the next day. I know workout prior to that day plays a role but just interested to know from what score it can be considered a hard workout

Veebee Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Acceptable because its December... and I have become very lazy after 947. Gonna take many hours to get going again.
shaper Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 14.25TSS 814IF 0.68 This week is a recovery week
Spinnekop Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Recovery week for me:8:20TSS 611IF: ?611 is a recovery week? Hahahhahaha. I am doing something wrong.
awesme Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 heheh you not the only one... G611 is a recovery week? Hahahhahaha. I am doing something wrong.
Craai Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 heheh you not the only one... GHaha, only saw the replies now. Nope... pretty sure I'm the one doing something wrong. Not sure why it ended up being so high, it was a very relaxed week but still 10 short(ish) sessions. Trying to follow the programme (Joe Friel IM training programme) as closely as possible.
awesme Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 No way that a TSS 600+ is a chilled week. something is wrong somewhere. Think about the math, TSS100=1 hour at FTP, so even roughly TSS=100 => 2 hours at 50% of FTP, touch calc...so TSS600 = 12 hours, 4 hours at 0,65 => 144TSS As per TP.so that would then imply 16 hours riding to get to a TSS600 number G Haha, only saw the replies now.
