(Part 2) - Make it stand out This is an overview of his acute training load (pink line), training stress balance (yellow line) and chronic training load (blue line) from the 29th March, right up to the 29th August. Chronic training load (CTL) is the average of your daily training load over the last 6 weeks. It is essentially a sign of your fitness. Ideally, you want to see it moving upwards. Acute training load (ATL) is an average of your training load from the past 7 days. It gives a more acute score of your training load. If it spikes up fast, then training volume/intensity has increased significantly. Training stress balance (TSB) is a sign of your form and readiness to race. The lower the value, the more fatigued an athlete is. The higher the TSB, the fresher an athlete is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd289f5aa49d44ad88c80f/1632307737324-QFV9W9Y0YIN7RTCVU2K1/Camp+1.png NEWMETA Blog, Articles, News - How do you prepare for a Decaman?
