New software update for S9P-S9B-S9-S5P-S5 and S3 devices 2.20.28

A bit of clarification for those of you using TrainingPeaks. You do not need a structured workout to have the Guides work.

First, a structured workout is not necessary! And if you are like me the vertical ascent for he workout is important so, if you have time, distance and gain loaded into TrainingPeaks like this your watch will have ascent as a value.

and, if I am visiting Suunto in Finland and ascent is virtually hopeless, you can leave out the ascent requirement and the field does not show.

This is fantastic and again Kudos to Suunto Devs!!!

Just a small improvement suggestion: make all workouts planned for a specific week sync directly to the watch, without the need of toggle. Toggle makes sense for routes and s+, but with 3-4 workouts a week select/deselect them manually is a bit cumbersome.

You do not have to toggle! If you have two workouts planned, strength and running for example when you pick a run the watch will ask if you want to load the Guide for the run for that day when you select the exercise, same for strength when you select strength training!

The toggle is to keep a specific Guide in the watch always. Say for example you use a stretching routine daily or often that you do not want to add to TrainingPeaks every time you use it. Create it once, toggle always on in the watch and no matter whether you have synced new Guides or not the specific stretching routine will always be there.

@brad_olwin is there a trick to do a repetition based workouts? E.g. 10 pushups, than 15 sit-ups, etc.

[herlas]

@dmytro also interested in this, I guess you’re asking about TP workouts, let’s see what others say

[DMytro]

@herlas TP would work fine, but I could also use intervals.icu, if it would work better in some regards.

This is a bit harder, I would in TP set up a structured workout, figure out how long it will take to do 10 pushups then label the interval as 10 pushups and just use duration as your set, then a minute rest (or whatever and then label the next 15 sit ups (again set the duration of the interval for the time you need). It might look like the set below. This will be some work to set up in TP so this is one I would save in TP as a workout so you can easily add it anytime. The titles for the intervals will show in the watch.

@brad_olwin and you can overestimate how long does it take, and use the lap button to move to next step.

[Frederick Rochette]

@isazi Did you try this? because for me that’s doesn’t works…

[isazi]

@frederick-rochette yes I did. You need to check the “End step on lap button” in TP, and the step has to be longer than you expect it to be (in time or distance).

[Dušan Ković]

Is there a way to add a non timed interval, for example 3x chest press and to end each repetition with lap button?

[Frederick Rochette]

@isazi I used Nolio…
also the display of the interval number is not correct
For this test I was 1/4 (for interval) then 2/4 (recovery) then 1/4 then 2/4 etc…
It should have been 1/4 (for interval) then 1/4 (recovery) then 2/4 (for interval) then 2/4 (recovery)
The last, i set a screen on my watch with the remaining duration of the interval, the interval number, the distance, etc… it no longer works.

[isazi]

@frederick-rochette I’ve never used Nolio, so I do not know how that works.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@frederick-rochette report that to nolio, they send the steps

[Frederick Rochette]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos did it!

[herlas]

Is anyone experiencing that TP workouts are not moving at all? e.g. for the below, neither pressing the lap to advance (just does normal lap) or letting the 4 mins from warm-up go off is moving to step 2, funny, it was working yesterday though , thanks

[TyreseJ4]

@herlas Yeah that happened to me yesterday. I had to delete the workout from TP and recreated it. When it sent back over to the watch it worked fine. Not sure if that was a one time thing or a possible glitch that could keep happening.

[markytarky]

@herlas just tried it, works exactly as expected. If toggle the manual switch in TP, then by pressing the lap button, the workout will move to the next phase. But the toggle must be on.

[TyreseJ4]

@markytarky That’s correct, but I had a workout that had all of the tabs selected and it wasn’t working on the watch. I had to recreate the workout in TP to get it working correctly.

[markytarky]

@tyresej4 understand, pls monitor if that will happen again and if so let me know. I can report it.

[herlas]

In my case it’s not moving to step 2 at all, neither after the time is up from step 1 or by pressing the lap button which is enabled in TP, will recreate the workout, but definitely something I am missing or as you guys said, minor glitch somewhere.
