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 Stress™ (NTS™)

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 Profile™. Your cumulative NTS values constitute your Normalized Training Load™ as shown in your Training Stress graphs in TriDot and RaceX.
