Depends on the frequency of your usage. 3 months or so for a weekend warrior.

Any premium members use the Fitness & Freshness chart ?
I binned it when I realised it wasn't taking into account running, so for run heavy training it's next to useless. PMC in TP is much much better.
Most systems like PMC/F&F work on the same principles:-
- Fitness is based on the last 42 days data.
- Fatigue is based on the last 7 days data.
- Form is yesterday's fitness - yesterday's fatigue
I do all of mine in a spreadsheet now. The tricky bit is accurately calculating the various TSS scores. The CTL/ATL figures are relatively easy:-
- Today's CTL (fitness) is 41/42 of yesterday's fitness, plus 1/42 of today's total TSS score(s).
- Today's ATL (fatigue) is 6/7 of yesterday's fatigue, plus 1/7 of today's total TSS score(s).
- Today's TSB (form) is yesterday's CTL - yesterday's ATL
- Fitness is based on the last 42 days data.

Any premium members use the Fitness & Freshness chart ? When upping distance and intensity I tend to over train and get a cold/flu/infection. Hoping to use the F&F chart to persuade me to keep a lid on it.
I've used the similar Performance Management Chart in Training Peaks when training for a half marathon last year.
Logging my commutes with heart rate now to get a more accurate picture. However as i've not logged this data before my form is way down and fatigue way up. How long should I give it for it to 'normalize' out
Edit - I could get a better picture by putting in an 'average' suffer score for previous commutes, but it doesn't appear as though Strava lets you do this in the same way Training Peaks let's you add TSS ?
