s14phoenix Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 I am not sure how to measure all this stuff and trainingpeaks looks like just another app to eat my data and confuse me futher... so here is my take: Time:not sure exactly but roughly 5-6 days a week and 1.5 - 2hrs at a time mostly indoor trainer since I leave for work too early and come home too late.Maybe 10hrs a week... and some weeks 12-13 if there was your average 100km 3hr effort. TSS: Training stress - sounds suspect - as training is my stress reliever. But if its about how hard the training was - Ek het heel week @fgek@k elke week.Zwift on average says anything between 105 to 150 TSS but cannot seem to give me totals and at that point I am way too wasted to be jotting anything down - Fittrack seems to think I am making progress in terms of the fitness points on there. IF: Yes IF I knew I would share. Does everyone use trainingpeaks or is there others that work. Tried Golden Cheeta but I had to have it put down since we didn't get along either.
awesme Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 ... After B&B I took a 2 week break, well it became 3 weeks, took a CTL dive, but was happy with it... Then since 1st week in December have been putting in time, effort, got CTL up from 32 back to 50, by mid Jan, good on the way to a 60 by end Jan, (included was also a FTP bump of 10watt)... And then my two 2 leg petty dishes, aka young children at crèche came home with bugs, big green nasty fckers... Got the snot sickte... been off the bike for 2.5 weeks again, CTL dropped down to 40. Hoping to start again tomorrow, but at the moment can feel not 100%, tried last week and got knocked back down. G
Jaco-fiets Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 My TSS mostly is between 350 and 550 per week. I don't really have more time to ride and I cant really spend all the time I do have to ride at IF of 90+ So can one actually get some good fitness with this range of TSS or is it just about enough to maintain a level that is not really here nor there?

It depends on what you are going for. My average TSS per week since the beginning of the year is about 390 (in around 6 hours per week) and that has managed to get me to a seeding index of 29. And a CTL of 51. This is coming from a base of almost 0 because I spent 2 months doing nothing after breaking my wrist and my face at the beginning of November. But as I already said, it all really depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you want to get into A batch or do Iron Man its probably not enough

Jehosefat Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 4hrs and 277 TSS Did a threshold test on Tuesday that broke me for the rest of the week, then I was away for the weekend so no riding then either. On the plus side, my FTP went up by 20w although I nearly vommed towards the end of the test (which I'm told is how you know you're doing it right )
EmJayZA Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 6:29471 TSS0.79 IF Meh. Not happy with my week last week. Managed new 5km and 10km PRs, but work and social stuff really got in the way. Been feeling sluggish even though the PRs, and today I have a cough and general feeling of weakness. Maybe the downtime wasn't such a bad thing. 12 weeks to Durban 70.3. Goal is to get a TSS of 700 a week until then, and hit my taper at around 100CTL (currently 83CTL).
s14phoenix Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 It is funny how you realize that your efforts are not going to give the rewards you are after... Duration 5:36TSS 360 Last week was better with 7h and TSS 500 Think I need to find out how I can do more time... 1:15 to 1:30 for 5 days a week seem way too low. Need to add at least another hour a day.
