Rack Up Training Load with the OTS Workout: Sweet Spot Series 5 of 8

Rack Up Training Load with the OTS Workout: Sweet Spot Series 5 of 8

Sweet Spot training is great for a number of things, and today we're talking about how it's highly effective for racking up Training Load - a key metric for any cyclist's training plan.

Training Load is the forest view of your fitness, a weighted 42-day rolling average of your recent workouts. The higher the load, the more potential fitness you have at your disposal.

On a daily perspective, you might be familiar with TSS from your Garmin or Wahoo - TSS stands for Training Stress Score. FasCat founder Frank Overton helped create this metric back in the day! Now at FasCat we use OTS, or Optimized Training Score, which is a more refined metric that accounts for things like coasting during a ride or weighting the power output at the end of four-hour rides higher than the same output in hour one.

On this podcast, Frank and Ben Delaney talk about doing OTS workouts - where the objective is to rack up a prescribed amount of work, not to follow a bar-graph set of intervals.
