Tsb -37.8

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.

My TSB is -37.8.

Should I take a day off or try getting it to -50?

:)

Yes, I'm tired.

Yes, I'm tried.

i've had mine to minus 67! :eek:

How low can we go?? :cool:

My PB -47

-77 (after a 6 day hard training camp)

Just a reminder to everyone: the magnitude of swings in TSB (either negative or positive) depend upon the time constant that you use when calculating ATL and, to a much lesser extent, CTL. To be most precise, one should therefore state what time constant(s) they used, e.g., "TSB = -38 (TC = 7 d)".

I'm still learning about this metric (along with CTL & ATL) and how to best utilize it.


Anyway, I was at -75.6 yesterday after 6 consecutive days of riding (all with L4 work).

TSB = 40.3
CTL = 42
ATL = 7

But this was inside the first 2 months of starting use of the PM. So I used 50 as starting values for both ATL and CTL. This flattened out the curve to more realistically reflect what I was doing pre PM. With the starting values at zero the TSB was 53.5. This followed a 12 hour MRB race and I was shot for a week and it took a few weeks for my CPs to come back up.

Anyway, I was at -75.6 yesterday after 6 consecutive days of riding (all with L4 work).-73 was my all time low.

My lowest TSB = -67.5
ATL = 144.7 (Time constant = 7)
CTL = 80 (Time constant = 42)

That was a couple of days ago after a few back to back 300TSS rides (trying to get my CTL up don't ya know...) and today was a wonderful day of a VO2 Max test followed by a TT (create 500J of energy as quickly as possible).
