Don't really have any particular event lined up, but I was keen to have an idea of it to tune down the training to come and bring back the average TSS to what it was before which I found rather sustainable

Fair enough. I've not looked at TSS at all this year. Season basically started with me doing TR and then chatting to coach to outline goals and then lockdown so I just carried on with TR. I'm pretty good at knowing when I'm tired though. My next challenge is not getting angry about that fact.

I use intervals.icu to chart fitness, TSS, freshness etc. With enough data it does a very accurate job of estimating TSS from heart rate in outdoor rides with no power meter. I’ve also been swimming this week while on holiday, want to have a vague idea of TSS from that to see how it affects my recovery week - so far so good on that front too. Grabs all its data from strava so I’ve been manually adding swims.

It doesn't really matter but when you look back in 3 months it might give you some insight into why event x went so shit or whatever knowledge you're trying to extract from historical data.
It's nice when comparing season to season to go "oh, maybe that's why that event was so shit compared to the year before" etc.
