Pantani Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Huh? Please explain? In fact, can I use this analogy instead, you have a Porsche, you went to lend someone your Porsche for 2 weeks, can they tell you why it should be given to them? Correct?

You got it.
THE BODY CENTRE Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 (Own thread hijack) Bruce - what would be the implication of adjusting ATL to TSS/10days. I don't get what the change from the default 7days to 10 would do?
BikeMax Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 The effect would be to extend the fatigue constant - so suppressing TSB a little longer and showing the athlete a little more fatigued than with the 7 day constant.
THE BODY CENTRE Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 The effect would be to extend the fatigue constant - so suppressing TSB a little longer and showing the athlete a little more fatigued than with the 7 day constant. Ok ... and why and when would one opt for this longer showing fatigue?
Willehond Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Ronelle's offer is VERY generous and very real! I just had the priviledge of riding with this very PowerTap and wheel and can truely say that it has blown my mind! I am trying HARD to find the money to get one, because the potential benefits are too good to ignore. So try it, but beware. You WILL be hooked. I know I was quite sceptic about the value of knowing your power stats, but it makes a significant difference to the view of your own performance. I now have to go back to heart rate training and it feels like I am about to go back to the dark uninformed days. SO again Ronelle: Thank you VERY MUCH for lending it to me but shame on you for leaving me thirsting after it! I need to get hold of a PwerTap and a coach. Soon....

Does it mean this is an individual option: if you know that say rider A recovers slower than rider B, then you'd opt for Rider A to have a TSS/10d, where B would be at 7days?

Willehond Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Ronelle told me about that pyramid and it sounds painful! The problem with the Powertap is you can't fudge the figures! No hiding...

(I understand the question, but I don't see the problem?) Nope, no problem just didn't understand where you were coming from... just like broker giving away two cameras for free...

[/quote'] Yes - different riders react differently to training stress, and so these constants vary a fair bit. At different times of the season they will also vary as a rider builds up a level of residual fatigue. Often older riders may need a longer fatigue constant. In general most riders recover faster rather than slower than they think however and this becomes accentuated the fitter they get.
