Starting to play a bit more these days. A 90-minute singles match isn't a super hard effort, but the heart rate gets up there and there are some hard sprints. In the interest of avoiding overtraining, I'm wondering what TSS to let TrainingPeaks assign.
The last couple times I've played are as follows:
87 min, Avg HR 141, Max HR 174. Default TSS 8, hrTSS 73.
98 min, Avg HR 151, Max HR 176. Default TSS 10, hrTSS 100.
So should I (a) leave it at 8-10, (b) use the much higher hrTSS, or (c) split the difference somehow? Again, I'm most concerned with making sure my body is recovering well each day and not artificially pumping up my CTL or ATL.
I'm sure I'll get a lot of "go off of feel" responses. But I'm interested to discuss how cross training (hiking, surfing, etc) should be incorporated into ATL, if at all. It seems to me that physical activities that raise heart rate should be taken into account. And maybe even non-exertion activities too (e.g. sauna).
