Critique my PMC.

"Leaking" CTL through a long period of racing, is not an uncommon experience. It's one of the first lessons I learned when using the beta test version of the PMC and retrospectively analysing a season's data.

In my case, I was leading my club point score championship early on (which was decided by points accumulated from 18 races through the season) and so decided to give that a crack as well as my original goals at State/National track championships. Well I won the point score but found that the need to be fresh enough to be regularly competitive meant CTL gradually waned. By the time I got to the track championships, I barely had enough CTL left in the tank. I did OK but was left wondering "what if?".

A good coach knows this already but the PMC shoves the evidence right in your face. It can be a real wake up call.

Your current build looks nice and steady, similar to mine this season. See here for a shot of mine last posted a few weeks ago. Overall your CTL is not super high (neither's mine at around 90 at the moment) so there's probably plenty of room for lifting it, depending on how much time you have to ride and how far away your goal(s) are.

Some are able to go "deep into the pain cave" for long bouts of large negative TSB, others need "to come up for air" every so often. It takes time to learn what works best for you. I'm still learning.

Some have difficulty lifting/maintaining CTL once more intensity is introduced into their training (e.g. solid bouts of IF >= 1 workouts) as the need to be fresh to effectively complete workouts increases. It does depend on what specifically you are training for and as everyone knows by now - CTL/ATL does not tell you how those TSS were acquired. Little point having high CTL if you haven't done sufficient training specific to your event demands.

It would help to change the TSB to a line and then overlay daily TSS bars. That way you can get a little more info on the overall riding patterns making up the CTL/ATL.
