Tss/hr can be a good metric to work too, but TSS is based on NP so you can just use NP for a ride to know where to ride. I set total TSS for rides to keep load increasing.
However, it's not something to get hung up on. You can improve without changing load but changing training composition.

thanks @skinny, that's a good pointer. I'll give the gradually increasing weekly total a go between now and the 'real' training block next year. It makes sense in my head not to be attempting all threshold workouts till then, as I'll probably go insane if I have to do endless 2 x 20 minutes at X watts between now and then.

That said. My CTL has stayed the same for 6 weeks, but I've gained 40W on threshold. I was a bit unfit before mind, plus totally changed my training composition.

Just a point that CTL chasing isn't the be all, especially as a Time crunched trainer.

Now to find another 40W with load increase.
