I managed a (in some worlds) respectable 6.5 hours this week. Hoping to do a lot more next week, maybe hit the heady heights of 8 hours!

I guess that apart from two hours today the rest of my week has all been quite easy!

So how is Strava calculating that score? Why am I getting such a paltry figure & how do I finesse it :grinning:?

Could well be to do with your hr and/or power and/or pace settings. If you’ve not set them to match your own metrics, then the algorithm may be thinking you’re hardly working for example.

Do you record your HR and power? Possibly that

I’ve always set up my FTP, customized my HR zones & my 5k pace is 18:25.

Don’t measure HR or power on commutes, but that’s only a couple of hours a week.

My TSS last week was 880 but due to the lack of HR & power my commutes don’t contribute to that.

Strava clearly believes you’re a well oiled machine but needs to try harder :rofl:

Sounds weird though, I had a tss last week of 956 so your Strava fitness score is definitely not right there

Yeah, needs to get his arse out and do those bonkers hill reps again! He set the bar too high, everything since is Z1 :joy:

I’d say the best time for those reps would be about the 5th/6th July.

Crikes it’s been a while since I’ve done that on zwift! Abs-frickin-lutely buried myself on the Mountain Massif TT.

Free Watts through being on the road bike on the turbo, and the difference between the two PM’s.

Aimed to start at around 260w and see what happened. ZP gave me 36 mins at 275w and TP gave me a new 20 min power all time record of 280w.

Glad I was in an event as I killed myself trying (but failing) to reel in a Cat A in front of me, but did successfully put constant time into 3rd place B behind me.

So a podium! Yey. But there were only like 4 or 5 of us! :joy:

Edit - negative power split as well :heart_eyes:

Easy on the trainer, still checking for signs of recovery.

5 mile run :man_running: :dash:

Struggling post covid. Still, almost running every other day now so that’s not too bad

Took 25 seconds off my 750m PB today from last month. No idea how but will take it. Maybe just better turns as much as anything else. It’s still 20 seconds slower than when if I go flat out then switch to breastroke when I’m done in, but getting there!

Pool felt really warm though, wasn’t that pleasant.
