I was wondering what different peoples strategy for Manual entries is.
Because TSS is calculated from NP, making a manual entry back calulates NP for the entry and has to use this number for AP as well.
For times when I don't have my PM I wanted to use HR and Polars exertion rates. So I did several rides with both to get a comparison. With My Polar settings, which are arbitrary, the Polar Exertion was about 4 times the TSS and the KJs were about 85% of the Polar calcualted Calories.
So, while the TSS seemed in the ball park from a RPE stand point, the KJs and APs were inflated. Some of the APs made the top 10 on the PMC chart, which is mileading.
One other thing that I noticed, when you overide the TSS it does not change the TSS on the under lieing gragh or in any charts. Same with any non- bike exercises.
It might work if we assign an average watts when making the manual entry.
