Thanks @dubtap and @skinny.

Am not 100% on my FTP, but I think it's within 5% of being correct from looking at my peak power graph (not sharing it as it's too pathetic for public consumption).

My numbers on Friday were CTL 79 and ATL 120. I know the basics of what these numbers mean having done some reading (primarily of the acrhives on TP) but don't know all this stuff inside out yet. @dubtap, what do you mean when you say my workouts are too hard compared to my CTL?

Apologies, powern00b here.

To keep your CTL increasing"safely" for want of a better word, your ATL should be higher than CTL but not too high.

TSB is just the difference between these two and what % you can handle is going to be individual but a 50% diff is probably going to be felt.

Thank you. That's great guidance, not seen the 50% rule in my reading thus far.
