Riding for 2:15 hours to get 180tss is riding steady at 90% of ftp. I've not tried riding at that intensity for that long but just looking at the numbers makes it look daunting. Which might suggest that your ftp was set too low previously?

Something like this is 100 TSS in 1:15

It’s not that bad. This was Sunday.
Edit - ignore distance and speed, this was a turbo session.

True. Last year I was doing 2 or 2:15 on the turbo during the week for ~180 TSS, then a 4 hour weekend ride between 150 and 225 TSS, but not “quality work”.
I injured my hand a month ago and couldn’t work in the workshop (or ride a bike) so decided to bump up the turbo training, 7 hours and around 490 TSS (next four weeks are 550 but fuck that). I’m bored of it now, demotivated by the test and my hand is ok enough that I can’t use it as an excuse to “work from home” and train every day.
