Hi,
In the Female Uphill Athlete group (I did two rounds of it last year), Carolyn and Maya said we should add X number to the TSS load if we have added weight. Can someone at FUA remind me how much to add? Is it a per-pound value? (add 25 to TSS if carrying 25 lbs?)
Thanks.

Hi Melissa, this article offers one fudge factor that’s combined with altitude gain: https://uphillathlete.com/trainingpeaks-metrics-ctl-tss/

I remember this being the article Carolyn and Maya referred to.
