There will be a countdown timer on the official website for all time zones, so you can adjust your stages

Looking at the preview for the different levels, the TSS is the same for Nuclear/Focussed/Get me through it.
This cannot be what is happening in the tour.
I want to know what is actually to be done so I can decide Between Focussed and Get me through it.

Last year, I just adjusted the effort as I went. I did some rides at 100%, others at less depending on how I felt.
Viscous looking Tour this year! Thanks GvA xx
Going for my 6th ToS. It is awful, but I love it. (Gerry, get the buckets ready)
Hoping to see you all on the start line!!

It looks like the adjustments are made to the Focused plan after you add the plan, not when you preview it.

Still can’t tell if that’s a typo or not …

Haha. A wee Freudian there maybe!
Perfectly describes the Holy Water.

This will be my first ToS and the tour looks pretty awesome. I somehow expected more than one workout per day - not only on the last day.
Not sure why though - no one in their right mind would ride this one nuclear, let alone cramp more workouts in …

“Come into the Tour rested” said Sir Neal …hmmmm completing a 423km (262mile) ride on the 24/25 Feb is probably going to mean Stage 1 will be fun!
Route looks super but might have to exploit the 50hrs time window this year

Looks like The Model will be the point I regret my decisions in life

So in order to decide between focussed and get me through it, I will have to one by one add these to my calendar, assess the % of the stages, and then choose.
Hardly ideal
It used to be 9 days covering two weekends and there would be more than one per day over the 4 weekend days. I think that used to just flog you too hard (if that’s possible) to get any real gains, I think the 7 days makes it a bit more achievable now. But of course you can always throw in an extra workout yourself

The Model.
It broke Sir Neal three times. And he designed it for his pro riders.
Do we need to say more?

Was that workout in response to those who find the workouts too easy in SYSTM?

What a line up! Having the single rides during the week helps with the amount of time needed during the work week - still looks like many days of sore legs.

Do we need to say more? No, you didn’t even need to say that!!!
I looked at the options
Yes Focussed has reduced percentages on the toughest rides
But Get me through it DOES NOT
@gpsjared
Please can this be sorted?
I usually do get me through it

Hi Zozzi, and welcome to the forum.
Everyone’s IF (and therefore TSS) values are different. When I look in my app, Downward Spiral is 0.94, Idol is 0.90 and Cash Register is 0.86.
The total TSS in my case is pretty much the same as yours though. I guess it evens out in the end. Pretty sure GvA has planned it that way.
