What's your CTL?

[Woofer]

Do you guys feel a bit over-trained with 100+ CTL's? The last time I was above 100, I had finished a 21 hour week. Granted, I was following a more periodized training plan, so every 4th week had a low TSS total, but 120+ is kinda nutty.

The only time I had weeks with 20 hours, my CTL was 130. Right now my CTL is about 115 on 15 hours a week.

Wow, you boys get the intensity in, thats for sure!

A CTL of 115 TSS/d on 15 h/wk (to mix time units ) would mean an average IF of 0.73...which is pretty typical, i.e., doesn't require devoting an inordinate percentage of one's time to high intensity training/racing.

Here's probably another Q for another poll ... what are your CTL ramp rates per week? Put another way, what is the average change in CTL from week to week?

Thanks!

Season peak 158; currently at 132 and TSB has been positive ~ 3 weeks.

It looks like TSS will fall between 47,600 - 48,000 for the year, or an average of ~ 131/day.

It's been a darn good season

That's huge.
It looks like I'll come in at about 30k for the year. Just a little less.
My CTL right now is climbing through 88.

I just let it "drop" to 65 this last week from 72. I'm going to push it as high as I can over the next two weeks before trying to peak for cyclocross.
