Hi Guys,

I suspect like many of us, I use Training Peaks to get Training Stress Score (TSS) and track general fitness. I find it works great for cardio sessions where I can understand the TSShr variations from both duration and intensity. However I find hat it does not work well where cardio is not being stressed much, or only intermittently: eg indoor climbing wall sessions, or weight training/muscular endurance sessions. Sometimes I feel considerably more fatigued from these than I do from a couple of hours of AeT cardio, but the TSShr does not reflect this. I know you can manually change TSS, but anyone got any experience of how best to gauge this?

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks
Derek

Check out the Table on estimating TSS from RPE here: https://www.trainingpeaks.com/learn/articles/estimating-training-stress-score-tss/

Probably your best bet. Whatever you do, be consistent.

“As for Strength workouts hrTSS is meaningless because HR is no indication at all of how hard a strength workout is…For the TftNA general strength and core workout I give them a TSS of 50-70/hour”
