GoatandTricycle-
Why not start on sweet spot base, low or medium depending on your available time? The main benefit of TR for me is the fact they work out all that stuff for you.
I usually do a longer weekend ride instead of the Sat one so my TSS is higher than the plan I’m on, but it’s not as good in terms of quality.

Dig out their blog on ramp rate, the actual TSS number is pretty arbitrary but how much you try to grow it each week (and periodic rest) is way more important so you don't burn out.
