Nope! No PBB. I’m binning my bike. I hate cycling..
I estimated my effort as ‘smooth’ but I think as discussed elsewhere TR will not accept that there are idiots on bicycles out there who ride for longer than necessary
I use the “estimate tss” tool for my commutes. But ive ridden my commute enough with a power meter to know what TSS i can expect. I find TR to over estimate TSS based on my RPE
I know. In fact I don’t feel deserving of any TSS score. It was such a pleasure to put myself through so much suffering, I should give TR some sort of rating
TrainerRoad gets TSS calcs wrong for estimating TSS for rides above a certain duration when you enter them in the calendar ahead of time. I’d have thought they’d have fixed this since @Jonathan did his everesting which we hear so much about.
I uploaded PBP last year to Strava and it was stuck in limbo for weeks until they fixed it. No segments calculated and TR can’t cope either, won’t show me any power PRs beyond the first 17h. First PBP where I managed to have power data reliably recorded, and no-one can cope.
I DNFed my first attempt at 600km. You’ve probably got relatively few outdoor miles in your legs at present, and the weather has been awful. I think you deserve a hat.
Yes,I have seen this before, and TR doesn’t seem to recognise long steady miles as high TSS.
I wouldn’t bother with the TSS side. Anyone who can ride what you have deserves kudos. Some of the climbs are killers, so I guess much of it would have been high effort. If I took much notice of TSS, I would just end up doing lots of junk miles to bump it up.
I think it is best if you are a diesel to use TR for quality workouts and enjoy the outdoor rides without worrying about the training effect.
So I just tried to create a planned workout of 24h at intensity = 4 (moderate).
I got TSS = 323. If I put 1 hour at the same intensity I get 49.
It keeps increasing until about 15-16h then starts dropping/going a bit random. I assume their intensity calculation is trying to adjust for duration i.e. race pace for 24h is not IF = 1. They might be assuming an IF of 0.5 max at 24h duration, I’m not sure.
