Just got into the 80s
I was feeling pretty good about my CTL of 86 and then I saw some of the charts people were posting here 
Starting to ramp up a bit for VT Grand Fondo at the end of June. I need all the help I can get on those climbs and hoping some smart planning and CTL ~100 might get me there. I’ve been around 10 hrs per week through April and just did 2 weeks at 15 hrs and >700 TSS. Bit of rest this week then onward and upward 
Comparison is absolutely the thief of joy!
73 and 5 weeks to go.
Ups and down through the year
Ramping up the last few weeks by increasing from 1 to 2h the time available for my 2 intensity session (VO2Max and threshold), and letting AI chose accordingly
Your intervals ICU visualization is beautiful - a remarkable testament of the structure, consistency, and focus you’ve accomplished.
Been inspired and following along. How did Unbound go?
It was a good day. Ended up 3rd in age group. Threw caution out the window and was racing hard from the start for the win, but the guy who got first was too strong and put time into me all day. I cracked pretty hard about 7 hours in and one guy passed me to take 2nd, but I was really happy with the day. No flats, no wrecks.
I hit a CTL of 117 yesterday (rest day today), and I’m kind of surprised it’s that high as I just ride with no sort of structure. I do wonder if my FTP is set too low and as a consequence has inflated my CTL. I don’t do many max efforts for intervals.icu to trigger a new FTP, so I should likely do one to verify.
As I’m either following a TR workout or doing endurance, without any all out efforts the eFTP has been about 30-40w down all year.
I was at a CTL of 82, just about two weeks ago. Then I had a trip out of town, came back with covid, and I’m in the 60s and going down some more 
Travel is an absolute CTL killer for me as a cyclist. I am constantly dropping 10 CTL because I took a week to move the kid out of her dorm, or visit parents, or go on vacation, etc. I try to walk a lot, run or hit the gym, etc., which keeps me healthy overall, but taking a week off the bike every 6 weeks or so absolutely kills CTL.
Yep, likely my issue. It looks like my FTP is set around 20w low, so that explains why my CTL seems high based on my weekly hours.
Congrats on the podium! What a great result after the training consistency. Chapeau.
My CTL is 107 today. Not unusual for long distance riders.
98 yesterday and heading to a rest week. First time near 100 since september, and highest volume weeks ever for the last two blocks. Fingers crossed this pays off.
