    Ep 180- Balancing Stress and Strain: The Complex Role of TSS

    Ep 180- Balancing Stress and Strain: The Complex Role of TSS

    We all love to watch our fitness "rise" on that Performance Management Chart in TrainingPeaks (or whatever software you use). It's fun to see our rides add up to a bigger wave of purple.

    But there are all too many times where our training gets derailed, and we cannot figure out why!

    Our rides were done as prescribed, you hit the Intensities and Intervals spot on, and the TSS matched what was programed (within reason).

    So what is happening?

    This weeks episode we dive down the rabbit hole of:


    When your TSS isn't really your TSS
    What TSS is made up of
    Why the Stress of your training doesn't determine the outcome
    How Strain is incredibly variable and throws a monkey wrench into the process
    Pactical tips on how to avoid getting sick, hitting non-functional overreaching, and to keep from burning your energy

Learning strength and philosophy

I am enjoying the insight Coach Brodie and his guests have about training and the philosophical angle brought to it. I’m a process and analysis of the big picture person when it comes to my training and this right up my alley.
