Today I did 7x 250, at about Z2 with a minute rest in between. The total of the splits gives me ~30 min, or a pace of 1:45/100. But the total time is 36:00. Not sure, but I think my T-pace is based on a hard 1000, right? For me, that's right about 1:50/100 (I tend to do 10x100 on 1:50, and get about 15" rest on the first, and 5 on the last).
The real,question is what to put into Training peaks to calculate sTSS. Is it the effort of the intervals, or the total time? My reading indicates it's based on pace + time. The results are quite different if I include the rest intervals because my total pace for 36:00 drops far from T-pace, and seems more like a NP number from cycling.
But the sTSS also seems really high if I don't add it, since itmlook like I'm doing a full mile above T-pace. Isn't that like saying I rode at FTP for 90min? (Which is, of course, impossible)
