Maybe not the correct thread but I give it a go here since it covers the last part of the IM who is the run 😉What estimated TSS is generally recommanded for an Ironman split which an athlete typically runs well off the bike?
I've yet to aim for TSS with myself or an athlete. Key things: (a) base the targets on what's been proven in training; (b) don't spike power; and (c) a well paced bike will always feel like it was a bit too easy.
With the spikes, starting point is to avoid going over 70.3 average power. For faster and fitter athletes, the ceiling moves upwards, eventually all the way to FTP.
Then, with the plan tested and assembled.... The game is to try to ride under the plan. Saving watts whenever and wherever possible. There is a lot of free speed available in the amateur race.
This one: Epic Lite @ Alpe d’Huez Triathlon 2024?
I will race some local stuff this year and maybe nathional 70.3. Next year we are considering Boulder. www.fasterinpink.com
That's the one. It will be my main focus for 2024 and should help me get my bike legs back.

I am all good :) are you doing 1-1 coaching again?
Not yet. Want to get the book draft finished then figure out what's next. What's your event plan?
Ramping up my SwimRun to do ÖtillÖ with Colting in September.
2024's focus event will be Epic Camp in July.

How you doing over in Norway?

No rest, you'll get a better look if you do it continuous.
