Calculating Training Load: Why You Shouldn't Stress About TSS
from The Knowledge by Wahoo Hosted by Neal Henderson, Buttons, Mac Cassin
How hard is hard? What's the difference between Normalized Power and Average Power? Is it more important to focus on Training Stress Score or Intensity Factor when choosing a workout? Determining training load—whether for a given workout or over the course of a season— isn't as straightforward as it seems. There is a veritable alphabet soup of measurements and calculations out there designed to help quantify just how much training load you've accumulated during the course of a workout or over time. These include NP, TSS, IF, CTL, ATL, and TSB, just to name a few. In this episode, Wahoo Sports Science coaches Neal Henderson and Mac Cassin untangle the often-confusing world of measuring training load to help you better navigate the sea of acronyms and get a deeper sense for just how hard (or easy) those upcoming workouts might be. **Learn more:** https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/understanding-the-limitations-of-tss-and-if-during-hiit-training/ **Try the SYSTM Training App free for 14 days.** https://www.wahoofitness.com/systm/getting-started Have questions?
