Suunto ZoneSense

@The_77 That’s certainly an odd one. I’ve been using structured workouts from TrainAsOne with ZoneSense for months now without issue and I’ve customised the rotation of info on the ZS app. The only annoyance I found was that step alerts caused the ZS app to return to the first ‘screen’ of data but I noticed on Sunday that didn’t seem to happen so maybe even that’s fixed.
-
@far-blue exactly that same issue. I could always uninstall/reinstall the app if it has been fixed, but ZS has no update since December.
-
Today I got strange drop of ZS value while speeding up for two minutes. I’ll expect opposite direction even with delay…
-
@Jan-Suchánek you started running downhill. It’s not surprising that your pace increases and the effort decreases. I always like going downhill, somehow it feels like going South.

@Gabriel-Rodríguez
Even if it was downhill (it´s almost flat), my effort surely didn´t go down, because for me, it was running fast at very high HR which I can´t stand for longer time… I´ll see next runs. Overall I´m satisfied with Zone sense. -
@Jan-Suchánek your mileage may vary of course, but this is something I see myself in my runs if the descent is sufficiently steep, and also depending on how technical it becomes (i.e., how much I am willing to trade off speed vs structural integrity of my teeth). I find that during very steep and/or technical descents I am never limited by effort, even if I try to keep it up.
-
@Jan-Suchánek I took a second look at your plot, and I think that the increase in pace is indeed correlated with an increase in ZS, just a couple minutes later? I mean, if you allow for ZS to have a “two squares” delay in the time axis, doesn’t it fit what you would expect?

@Gabriel-Rodríguez
It could be like You said. -
@Jan-Suchánek
I also looked at your graph, and noticed a relative slow down in pace before this downhill and it high pace one.
Thus, to me, it may explain ZS fall down as ZS seems to behave very quick to slowing efforts, and then took more time to “see” or display the hard new effort (needs time to re-accumulate while needs less time to recover = your are fit
).
Hey, just own feeling, but I also admit it is not easy to handle in real time, it is like a new way of thinking metric) -
Today I used ZoneSense in a 10km race and it helped me push further that I did before.
It was the first time I used ZoneSense in a race. The run started quite fast and after the first few km my HR was quite high, so I thought about getting a bit slower to not get too exhausted too soon. With those thoughts I switched to the ZS screen and it was in the greens. So I kept pushing…
I finished with my fastest 10k ever.
Would have been a perfect story, if my Race S would have kept recording the complete race. At about 8.5km I looked at the watch and the Vertical Week watch face looked back…
So I started another run activity and now have two FIT files with about 90 seconds data missing… I wonder how I merge these and fill the gap… -
@2b2bff excellent news with the time. Try GPX editor to merge them. I normally use Garmin Basecamp to join files, but not sure if that is still about.
-
@Audaxjoe Thanks. The tools I tried, yet struggle with the gap in between. You would have thought that this is easy to fill with averages… Will take a look at Basecamp…
