Why CTL Is Not Race Readiness, Friendly Reminder! - a podcast by EVOQ.BIKE

Blog post mentioned in this super fast pod:  https://www.evoq.bike/blog/2019/1/25/1-massive-reason-why-obsessing-over-your-ctl-can-ruin-your-race-season

Quick bits:



-CTL doesn’t know how tapered or rested you are

-You could do 100 TSS a day from zone 2, or 100 TSS from a 1 hour time trial; you'll feel very differently but same CTL!

-You can consider TSB, BUT you could be at 0 and be exhausted…this can happen after a big spring build up (see blog)

-TSS accounts for, but doesn’t highlight or differentiate things like: Intensity, Repeatability or Race Specific efforts.
