This chart allows you to determine the total training stress and intensity needed for your upcoming half ironman race. The higher your FTP, the faster you split and therefore higher your target intensity factor should be. You should start with the estimated bike split first, then review your hardest rides to make sure you have done rides of this training stress (TSS) and then look to find the corresponding intensity factor or (.IF).

“Cliff: See attached my 2018 "Race Plan".. I updated it today.. “ What I do NOT fully understand is WHY my CTL have just kept on "declining" from the peak(s) in March and April?
Can you shed some further wisdom about this please?
Dr... So if I focus on CTL for a moment and look at the CTL in a "last 6 months" perspective.. My CYCLING CTL performance been constantly improving ("big bump" up during Tristar LP week...)... WHILE my RUNNING CTL performance been doing the opposite... with my two "bumps" taking place in March and April which was when my "pure" 10K and 13.2M took place....
My RUN CTL was a peak at 43 in March.. and end of April bumped up to a 40.. but now just a 28....
What is going on..?? Please provide some (further) insight please DR..
