Thanks for your feedback.

I reckon my FTP is set somewhat low, as I haven't done a true all-out, 20-minute FTP test. I'm just going with what Garmin estimates automatically, which right now is 2.98 W/kg.

Can you explain what TSB and CTL are? I'm not familiar with those terms.

As far as total training load goes, Garmin Connect tells me I am staying within the green "optimal" band:
