If not, they definitely should! @Nate_Pearson, @Jonathan and @chad are talking about consistency all the time, and we all know it, beeing consistent with your training feels awesome! Why not reinforce/evaluate/measure it like TSS does for stress, and on both the workout and global/training-plan level. It shouldn’t be too hard 🕶, I am still baffled that TP could copyright an easy “formula” like TSS or NP… ---

I’m calling it DUSU (Did u show up): avg of (percentage of the planned workouts completed, percentage of planned TSS completed, percentage of planned workout time completed) You could calculate it on a per week/month/year basis.

I’m considering it, the outcome may be significantly influenced by whether or not I quit watching Netflix soon and go ride or… ---

If we’re wanting a measure of consistency then I feel like the standard deviation of your weekly TSS for 6 weeks would probably best represent that and be a very simple setup. The lower the standard deviation the more consistent you are and the higher, the more variable your weekly TSS is.
