How to quantify the training load of higher intensities and sprints, separately from aerobic training load, simply from power data? We suggest a 3D strain score (alternative to the "1D" TSS/TRIMP/work -> fitness paradigms) to capture the nuances of training CP, W', and Pmax.

Our new preprint proposes a new way to quantify training loads based on power output. We describe how a 3-parameter CP model may be used to estimate contributions of each energy system, resulting in a "strain score" which overcomes some limitations of other TL metrics. doi.org/10.48550/arX...

Tom's Weekend Warrior study is out! Training either 4x (short) or 2x (long) weekly resulted in the same adaptations, when overall volume and content of training was fixed. Performance, thresholds, efficiency, Hbmass, and ox cap ↑ equally in both groups. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
