What is a good CTL on TrainingPeaks?

What is a good CTL score running?
In the PMC world, a higher CTL is always better. Theoretically, if you start an event with a CTL of 100, you will perform better than at a CTL of 90. Because TSS is always relative to the individual’s threshold, CTL is always relative.
What is a good CTL for Ironman?
On average an IRONMAN run will vary between 190 and 250 TSS, depending on the athlete, while IF ranges are between 0.7-0.85. With this information, you can determine the appropriate IF, and thus pace or power, you or your athlete can hold off the bike and train to achieve that goal.

How is CTL calculated?
CTL is a number that provides an objective measure of your fitness. It’s calculated as a rolling average of your last 7 weeks training and is expressed in the same units as TSS. So a CTL of 100 means you have been averaging the equivalent of riding one hour as hard as you can every day for the last 7 weeks.
