Using this online TSS estimator, I'm getting the following TSS for these 2 workouts.
http://spinloose.co.uk
20 min threshold / FTP 32 TSS
16 min threshold 4 min anaerobic threshold 38 TSS
The 2nd workout would be done at FTP with every 5th minute done at anaerobic threshold.
I find the 2nd workout far more hurtful than doing 20 min at threshold and don't feel only 6 extra points reflects this.
I don't have a real power meter, but am using a Wattbike
FTP 260 watts, the anaerobic efforts at 320 watts.
FTP based on .93 of 20 min power.
It isn't so much the efforts over 300 watts that gets me but how much harder they make the threshold minutes.
Is this online calculator correct? Or do I find the anaerobic efforts harder than most?
