I guess what Im getting at is before using TR cycling training was a lot less productive not because of lack of effort more because of lack of structure. I could have employed a coach but using TR has educated me and directs me to the efforts I need for a given plan rather than trying to achieve a given TSS for a week regardless of how that TSS comes about.
If the same could be applied to running and/or swimming or even allow these sports to be practiced separately. I personally feel it would make me much more efficient when conducting training for these events.
Yes I could employ a coach as any one could it was purely a though for consideration.
