Predicting TSS

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Hi,

I remember reading a little while ago someone had put up a spreadsheet that could predict TSS from expected time at certain power levels, or something like that. I'd like to use a tool like this - if someone has one or knows the URL, might they be able to post it?

Cheers,

RS

There's this application that computes NP, IF and TSS for a workout http://www.cyclingforums.com/t312293.html. And, IIRC frenchyge has an Excel spreadsheet that computes some or all of these statistics.

I changed the extension to .doc, so you will need to change it back to .xls...if it comes through... :rolleyes:

If not, pm me and I will send it.

Cool. That's similar to mine.

I've also been known to use the following thumbrules in a pinch:
L2 --> IF=.80, 65 TSS/hr
L3 --> IF=.90, 80 TSS/hr
L4 --> IF=.95, 90 TSS/hr
L5 --> IF=1.0, 100 TSS/hr

But with all the good tools that people have created, I'm rarely in a pinch anymore. :)
