Dear all,
this year I will participate in two Extreme Triathlons, the Swissman and the Janosik. I try to plan my power output on the bike with bestbikesplit. And here is my question. I am not sure what boundary condition I should choose. If I start with IF=0,65 I get TSS=320. Allen/Coggan recommends a value of 250 to 280 for a full ironman (in the book "Training and Racing with a Power Meter"). With TSS=280 as a boundary condition I got IF=0,6 and round about half an hour longer finish time. Does anybody have some experience/values from races like that (also Norseman, Evergreen Endurance, Embrunman, Celtman etc.)?
Best regards
Marco
