Coaching Tip of the Week:

On it's face, the question was "what is Normalized Training Stress"?

TSS (Training Stress Score)

TSS is an estimate of the training load created by a workout based on intensity and duration. A 1-hour cycling activity at maximum steady-state intensity is 100 TSS (111 for running). TSS can be used to determine how much recovery may be needed after a given workout. TSS is also used to calculate Fitness (CTL) an Fatigue (ATL) in the Performance Manager Chart

Normalized Training StressTM (NTSTM)

NTS is the consummate method of quantifying the physiological stress from a training session. It considers the session’s discipline type, environment, intensity distribution, intensity levels, intensity durations, and your Training Stress ProfileTM. Your cumulative NTS values constitute your Normalized Training LoadTM as shown in your Training Stress graphs in TriDot and RaceX.
