Because it's a relative measure, unless a high TSS is accompanied by a high FTP (an absolute measure), TSS doesn't indicate absolute fitness. IOW, no TDF for you unless your 150TSS is accompanied by an FTP of ~400W and consequent repoeated 'work weeks' of 21000kj<br /><br />2. You're right that the nature of the TSS calculation carries with it certain assupmtions on fat/carb burning at lower intensities, namely that the as intensity doubles, glycogen cost increases 4-fold. While this represents a pretty 'typical' fat oxidation profile, it may not be true of athletes who are 'bottom end' strong. <br /><br />Best,<br /><br />ACAlan Couzenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123240819644335101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915222980782433094.post-61703995023225618142009-07-27T06:34:53.768-07:002009-07-27T06:34:53.768-07:00Hay AC,

So what might be going on given the high CTL since I'm definitely not ready for TDF? Either my threshold is higher, which doesn't seem likely based on some hard efforts, or TSS doesn't work well for the lower intensity aerobic workouts used to jump start ones fat burning. <br /><br />It seems to me that ones fat burning capacity affects the amount of actual TSS for a given workout? The more fat I burn the less glycogen consumed, so the lower the TSS score. When it comes to efforts greater than say 1hr I suspect TSS and CTL only give part of the story and don't reflect the very important contribution fat burning has on reducing training stress for aerobic workout.<br /><br />What's your take?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08202976317218290055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915222980782433094.post-7896839018677933762009-07-25T17:37:02.501-07:002009-07-25T17:37:02.501-07:00Hey Jaakko,

If you start hitting 150CTL on the bike alone, I'll start to look for you in the 2010 Tour De France :-)<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />ACAlan Couzenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123240819644335101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915222980782433094.post-34840583467416549552009-07-25T10:32:28.750-07:002009-07-25T10:32:28.750-07:00Okay thanks!

I was seriously worried what was wrong with me only having CTL values max in the 100 TSS/d range! only been able to ride for some time and maintaining that requires quite a solid amount of serious riding!<br /><br />thanks, <br /><br />JHllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694446270426418514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915222980782433094.post-82803704416968355332009-07-25T08:35:01.520-07:002009-07-25T08:35:01.520-07:00Hey Jaakko,
