    Those charts turn me green with envy. The highest I've ever managed to get my CTL is 88! I just don't see how it's possible when trying to juggle work and family life.

  • I'm hovering around 92. So cant really do any kinda building. I too have to juggle. But I also hit a point where fatigue ruins training.

    Might hit 100 as the Nights get uber long here. I may be diadvantaged during Winter. But in the summer I can head out for 5 hour ride at 5pm and still be in descent light as I riding home.

  • Yeah, I find these 100+ CTL numbers hard to fathom too. Essentially it averages out to the equivalent of a 25mile TT at race effort every day.

  • You work very hard and are a good dad / husband.

    I do not work very hard and am single.

    And @Smallfurry that perfectly describes my 'races' (*sportives).

    Or: first climb, leaders put in a big dig and drop me. Chug up the mountain at my own reasonable pace and cut the gap a tiny bit. Descend into valley maybe getting near the leaders after the climb.
    The leaders get together in the valley and I'm not yet fully caught up.
    Chug along valley on me todd while they vanish up the road in a nice group til the next climb.
    etc etc.
    Sliding down the positioning as the day goes on. Good times.
