Run TSS is different on activity view vs fitness tracking view

[pete911]

When I go to run activity, TSS is much higher than TSS that is displayed in Fitness Tracking view.

Activity view (47 TSS)

Fitness Tracking view (34 TSS)

Hi @pete911 is it possible the run watts settings between the Sauce Options and your activity sync are different? I assume this is from a Garmin watch that supports Garmins new "run power" and either your profile or the sauce options has run watts disabled, but not both.

Hi @mayfield, when I enabled run watts data in sauce options (it was disabled before), activity view went from 47 TSS to 87 TSS (difference is even higher). I am not sure where to disable running watts in strava settings ... but it doesn't look like this was the issue ...

@pete911 can you email me, support@sauce.llc, the activity URL in question along with a screenshot of your sync panel settings and another of the Sauce Options (its in the Sauce Menu (top right drop down of most pages) or the the browser's options page for the Sauce for Strava Extention.

You can put them here if don't mind too.

@mayfield, sure I'll send it later this week. I just noticed TSS is different for cycling as well when I disable run watts data in the sync menu and the activities re-sync. This should not affect cycling, but it does.

Hi @mayfield, I went for another run today, the same problem, but I made it worked by:

Main sauce options (under profile)

• [x] disable run watts data

Activity sync options

• [ ] disable run watts data (this effects cycling TSS not run TSS!)

• [x] estimated run power

• enabling run watts data in the main sauce options almost doubles activity page TSS

• enabling run watts data in activity sync options does NOT have any effect on run, but reduces cycling TSS

• enabling estimated run power in activity sync makes run TSS the same as disabling run watts data in main sauce options

Is there a but in activity sync options? Link for today's run is https://www.strava.com/activities/10467894021

I believe I've rectified most of the confusion here. The TSS shown on the Activity overview panel was sometimes power based and sometimes HR based (TRIMP). It wasn't clear which was being used before. I've updated how all this works and now TSS is reported with a prefix to indicate the source:
TSS	Power based TSS
eTSS	Estimated power TSS
mTSS	Manual override TSS (only for sync'd athletes)
tTSS	TRIMP (Heart rate) based TSS
