Hi
Thanks to help from here I can now work out what weekly TSS to aim for to raise my CTL by xx and this has worked well. I now want to do the opposite to try to make sure I arrive at about the "right" TSB dor an event in 2 weeks time (100 mile hilly sportive ride).
So, how do I work out what TSS I need to ensure that I arrive with a TSB of 10-15 in 2 weeks time, or do I just guess! I can't do it from experience because I've not been using this system for long enough.
My current CTL is 101.8, the event is 2 weeks from today. I have been watching several charts with various CTL/ATL constants. I've been using the default value but being almost 50 I'm getting the feeling that values of 42 and 9-10 probably better reflect reality in terms of recovery as my current TSB on the chart using the default value of 7 is -0.5 but I feel quite a bit more tired than that!
Is there a magic formula?
Thanks in anticipation!
