RUNALYZE - Data analysis for athletes

Glossary: Chronic Training Load (CTL)

Chronic Training Load represents your current degree of fitness, being an exponentially weighted average of your training load (i.e. TRIMP) over a period of 42 days by default.

Similar to ATL, Runalyze uses the alltime maximum CTL to express current CTL as percentage.
