Up-To-Date Fitness Charts

This is a perpetual/sticky/pinned post. It’s not my most recent posting; if you’re looking for that, simply scroll down or click here.

I pinned this post to the top of my cycling blog because the following charts are automatically updated after every bike ride (both outdoors and on the indoor trainer). So you can easily find this entry, which always shows my up-to-date Fitness numbers.

By “Fitness”, I’m specifically referring to my Chronic Training Load (or CTL), which is an exponentially weighted moving average of my Training Stress (TSS) over the preceding six weeks. You can learn more in this video, this web page, or this book.

So without further ado, here are my up-to-the-minute Fitness charts.

The first chart depicts my Fitness level over the past 12 months. Any red dots that appear represent rides of 100 miles or more. For comparison purposes, I’ve included a light grey line to show my normal/average Fitness over the course of a year.

Calendar-year charts: 2025 2024 2023 2022 2021
2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011

The second chart shows my long-term Fitness level since 2011, when I first started tracking my CTL. As expected, it peaks during the summer cycling season, and declines during the wintertime off-season, although less so since 2018, when I bought my indoor trainer.
