The conversation covers the challenges of ocean swimming, the concept of Training Stress Score (TSS) and Chronic Training Load (CTL), and the issues and limitations associated with TSS and CTL as metrics for quantifying training stress and performance. The conversation delves into the impact of training stress scores (TSS) and chronic training load (CTL) on athletes, highlighting the potential anxiety and stress induced by these metrics. It also explores the limitations of TSS and CTL, the factors affecting training stress, and the role of awareness in training and performance. The conversation delves into the use of Training Stress Score (TSS) as a metric for training, its limitations, and the importance of communication with a coach. It also explores the role of wearable devices in training and the need for effective communication between athletes and coaches. Takeaways TSS and CTL are metrics used to quantify training stress and chronic training load TSS and CTL may not accurately reflect the actual stress and performance of an athlete CTL and TSS can induce anxiety and stress in athletes TSS is agnostic to the type of training and may not align with specific fitness goals TSS as a metric Communication with coach Chapters 00:00 Ocean Swimming Challenges 19:01 Issues with TSS and CTL 24:09 Factors Affecting Training Stress 43:26 The Role of Awareness in Training 49:12 The Importance of Communication with Coach 01:03:41 Final Thoughts on Training and Communication
