If you are in base training and increasing your hours every week, your TSS will increase every week. I'm about to investigate if the hardest base week sets your TSS for your build period. That is, increase intensity while reducing hours results in a more constant TSS. If one overloads TSS by 30%, it might lead to injury. Increase it slowly (5-10% increase in hours is suggested in most programs). |

Re: Overloading your TSS or keep it constant??
Yes. It is important to build up, in intensity, in volume, in both (depending on the phase objectives).
But it is also very important to have small weeks. A group of weeks (microcycles), is called mezzocycle. Some also call it macrocycle. It can consist of 3 to 6 weeks. Often 4. Sometimes 8. Given you use 6 weeks mezzo. You can go w1 : medium w2 : hard w3 : ez w4 : hard w5 : very hard w6 : very ez Sessions are part of a week. Weeks are part of a mezzocycle. Mezzocycles are part of a phase. Phases are part of a year. Years are part of a multi year plan (e.g. 4 years at the time, in the case of an Olympic Athlete).
