  • don't waster your time with planned rest weeks. You work full time, forced rest will come.

    Maybe go with 5points a week. Or just don't worry about ctl and do some training based on the feel of your body. Personally coming back from injury, I'd ignore CTL and listen to my body and just base training around that. Plan a week out, and if ok, proceed. If tired or sign of injury buggin you then back off.

    Better to build slowly and not get re injured, than smash yourself and agrivate injury.

    • Ignore CTL. Train off your bodies feel. And just take it easy.
  • I hear you, but based on my history I tend to train harder than I should when not at full strength. I am an idiot basically. I don't like going easy and struggle to keep effort in check, then end up hurting myself.

    I suppose I was thinking if I had a TSS to aim at each week, perhaps increasing by 5% (?) each time, I'd be able to plan a schedule that won't push the body beyond what it's capable of too soon.

  • Just don't be a dick and learn from mistakes past ;)

    Why not aim for 3 points CTL increase then, and make your training sessions good quality, rather than junk. Composition of CTL counts for more than raw ctl numbers. (in a generalisation) Plan that out in TP with TSS for each quality session and stick to TSS numbers. But listen to your body, your body > TSS numbers.

    60 is ok CTL.
