Okay:

Blue Line = Chronic Training Load (CTL) which represents fitness.
Pink Line = Acute Training Load (ATL) which represents fatigue
Yellow Line = Training Stress Balance (TSB) and represents freshness

Freshness(TSB) = Fitness(CTL)- Fatigue(ATL)' date=' so when you are more fatigued than you are fit, your TSB is negative.

Fatigue increases and decreases much more rapidly than fitness, it takes approx 7 days for fatigue to halve, whereas fitness takes 42 days to halve (if you do nothing).  But fitness also increases much more slowly than fatigue.

When your TSB is deep in the negative, you are very tired.

This info is very usefull to know. How would they typically measure these levels? I gues you probably need some R2000 program like cyclingpeaks to get it though?

CyclingPeaks is $99 if I remember correctly - so not quite R2000.  It is the small part of the investment however, the Power Meter costs a bit more!

 

This stuff is really well explained in Hunter Allen/Andy Coggans Book, 'Training and Racing with a Power Meter'.

 

You can also get plenty of info here: http://www.cyclingpeaks.com/power411/
