How is training stress score calculated?

Training Stress Score Formula This means TSS is equal to the seconds of your workout times by Normalized Power x Intensity Factor. It is divided by your FTP (percentage of how hard it was) x 3600 (number of seconds in the hour). Then finally multiplied by 100.

Are heart rate zones the same for running and cycling?

It’s very normal to have a higher heart rate (HR) when running compared to biking, despite feeling no greater effort. It’s the muscles pushing the heart to pump faster due to more muscles being used when you run.

What does training stress score mean?

Training Stress Score (TSS) is a way of measuring how much stress is put on the body from a ride. TSS is calculated using Normalized Power (NP), Intensity Factor (IF), and ride duration. TSS helps to determine the best combination of workouts and rest periods.

How do you calculate your lactate threshold heart rate?

Measure your heart rate at 10 minutes into your run. Continue your run and stop at 30 minutes and measure your heart rate. Add your heart rate at 10 minutes to your heart rate at 30 minutes and divide by 2 to find the average. This is an estimate of your lactate threshold heart rate.

What is a good training stress score?

Base on actual CTL you can come up with a total TSS number per week if your CTL is around 40 we would recommend starting with around 300-350 TSS per week. Don’t forget about periodization, you should be increasing your training load every week by about 3-7 TSS per day, which means 21-49 TSS per week.

How does Rouvy calculate speed?

If you have a power meter connected, either on your bike or part of your trainer, Rouvy will calculate your virtual speed. This takes into account factors usually experienced when riding outside, like wind resistance, and uses an average approximate figure to correct your moving speed in-game.

How do I calculate my heart rate zones for cycling?

Setting your training zones is based on finding out your maximum heart rate is and, from that, working out the zones. A popular method for finding your maximum heart rate has been to use simple equations, such as 214 minus (0.8 x age) for men or 209 minus (0.9 x age) for women, and the original 220 minus age.

What should your heart rate be while cycling?

Target zones fall within 50 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. This is calculated by subtracting your age from 220. So, for someone who is 40 years old, their maximum target heart rate would be 180 beats per minute (bpm).

How do you calculate your threshold heart rate?

Subtract your heart’s resting rate from your maximum rate. For example, if you are 40 years old, subtract that number from 220; your maximum rate is 180. Next, subtract your resting rate or 80 in this example. Your heart-rate reserve is 100 beats per minute.

How do you measure your threshold heart rate?

To determine your LTHR click the lap button on your training device at the start of the test and again at the end of the 20 minute TT. Your average heart rate minus 5\% is your Lactate Threshold Heart Rate.

How is intensity factor calculated?

The intensity factor is obtained by dividing the NP (Normalized Power) by the FTP (Functional Treshold Power). The result should be somewhere between 0.6 (very long or slow rides) and 1.2 (short or very intensive rides).
