weekly tss score

[Craai]

Pretty good week,

TSS: 868

Time: 10:24

 

High TSS mostly due to a PB I did on 21km at Dischem (TSS of 274 for the run). (Still slow compared to runners, but happy to have broken 2 hours on Dischem course)

[shaper]

Recover week for me

TSS 722

IF 0.7

 

Interesting that my TSS for a sub 2 Dischem was 159

Interesting, what was your heart rate for the race? I hit 83% of max over the duration of the race. (Wasn't planning on doing a quick one but met a friend of mine en route and ran with him and he's a fairly snappy runner)

My average for the race was 74%, and was a chilled training run for me, of which 1:47hr was in Zone 1 HR (0-137) and 9 mins in Zone 2 HR (138-145)

Your thresholds are set wrong. If they were correct it should be impossible to get a TSS of over 200 on a 2 hour race.

Eish, had to work a lot harder for my 1:56, 74% in Z4 (1:26), and 24% (28min) in Z3

It was for a run and running is a lot harder than cycling.

Will have to look at my thresholds; apparently you're not supposed to be able to hit more than 100 TSS per hour of exercise.

• You earn 100 TSS for an all out, 100%, 60-minute workout. Of course most workouts are not completed at 100%, so most workouts will accumulate less than 100 TSS per hour.
• You can earn more than 100 TSS within a single workout (as long as it is longer than an hour), but never more than 100 TSS per hour.

Will perform a threshold test somewhere in the week to reset my HR zones

Hi Guys

 

How reliable is the fitness chart on Strava?

I also have Stravistix and the numbers does not correspond with strava. I have logged every ride for the past 6 weeks.

How do you find WK04, worth it? Anything of interest with regard to post ride, race analysis? I currently use Golden Cheetah for TSS, Stress and wbal analysis etc

First impression of GC... requires a lot of setup, and I just couldn't get the basics right. I dislike subscription based products, so while GC is free I preferred the once-off cost of WKO4 ($179 in early 2017). One thing is for sure... Strava is unique, but it has nothing on GC/WKO4 and other similar programs.

 

WKO4 has a lot of stuff "out the box" that GC can also do, so there's no real difference - based on me reading up on both. Not sure if GC has visual matches? Perhaps I should download the latest GC version and try again. I find it easy to reference based on using the book "Training and Racing with a Power Meter".

 

Having just got into running, I see there are plenty graphs, metrics and features that I can start using once I have built up a good history of data. For now, I'm just starting to enjoy running - so I'll keep the enjoyment factor going until I want to analyse the running.
