TR Calendar vs TrainingPeaks/Intervals.icu

[grwoolf]

I use TR for my 2 interval days per week (workout library, sometimes workout recommendations), but then manage my overall training load with the help of intervals.icu. They have a really nice graph that shows ramp rate, acute training load, stress balance (form), etc.(see below). I try not to be a slave to just chasing TSS and raising CTL, but I find those concepts very helpful to frame my training and keep me from doing too many stupid things. Some of it lines up really well with concepts in TR (like yellow/red days), but with a lot more granularity.
