You might prefer the video for this one: https://youtu.be/LZRWd50YWeQ  Highlights: What’s  trend on PMC chart to look for PMC Chart vs RPE feelings Non-bike fatigue Bonus Tip It's definitely something to think about.  I always feel best with a slightly negative TSB, but always tapered before an event to get well into the positive...might have to try going in without a taper. depends on the taper for sure; the word "taper" means different things to different people. I'd get rid of fatigue but still keep “some riding in the legs”, Even that means different things to different athletes based on their experience. One thing to look for is the TSB trending positive, but can still be negative. Cody stephenson doesn’t even use PMC chart with polarized athletes because he was getting values that didn’t match up with athlete perception. I have a guy who golfs 4h on Saturday….huge fatigue, but we don’t count that TSS because it’s not making him faster., we just need to monitor that fatigue. I would test this before a hard group ride or something and see how you feel! Please subscribe and tell a friend.
