Impact of manually entered rowing tss on the AI recommendations?

I always include rowing and strength training in my plans. TrainerRoad usually doesn’t assign TSS to those activities, but I’ve noticed that Strava and TrainingPeaks estimate different TSS values for the same rowing session. For example, Strava calculated 23 TSS for the effort shown below, while TrainingPeaks gave it 18. My own estimate would be closer to 30.

If I manually enter a TSS for the rowing session, will it affect the AI’s cycling workout recommendations?

While TSS does matter, I don’t think the relatively minor differences you’re referencing will greatly sway your TR prescribed workouts..

If the figures you’re getting are from the rower and are much more accurate, then use those!
