Spot a difference…

Hi!
It is till not clear to me how Suunto Vertical handle intervall training. Is it possible to create intervall sessions based % of max power or HR?

[isazi]

@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud the same as previous watches, nothing changed.

[Marius Jacobsen Eggerud]

@isazi and that means? I haven`t had a Sunnto watch for years, but might come back now if this is in place.

@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud Best practice is to configure your interval training in 3rd party app (TrainingPeaks, or Intervals) and it will automatically be loaded to your activity when starting it.

@wmichi I actually liked that clicking sound

[Marius Jacobsen Eggerud]

@v-sacre will that make it possible to create intervals based on % of max power?

[isazi]

@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud sorry, you appear as a “Silver Member” so I thought you knew Suunto watches already. You can create workouts based on HR, power, pace values. I use TrainingPeaks, but the Suunto App has also a basic workout creator.

[v.sacre]

@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud yes of course.

A small video to understand better

@isazi earned that badge many years ago. Consider coming back now.

@tomasbartko Ehm, the Vertical is on the charger?

[v.sacre]

@lessthanmore Indeed, hopefully it is not that thick !

[lessthanmore]

@v-sacre It is huge. I have a small wrist (appr. 17cm). I hope I get used to it very quickly but it’s definitely bigger than my fenix 7s.
Right now it looks a bit like a fish out of water -.-

Arrived - doe they have a box for every colour ???

[EzioAuditore]

@ChrisA I guess yes since mine is Sand

[aroo7]

@Hristijan-Petreski Only connects to wifi 2.4 band and making it take forever to download maps, unfortunately

[EzioAuditore]

@aroo7 The 2.4 was not the problem. The SSID name containing the apostrophe was the issue. I have both 2.4 and 5 enabled so it chooses what to connecto to.

@Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud as things stand, Suunto’s own tool on SA to create structure workout doesn’t know about the zones set in the watch, so it doesn’t have the option to specify % of zones as targets, I’ve requested this in the past, you can manually specify min and max values for power, hr etc, as @isazi said , Trainingpeaks does allows this, also Intervals ICU both work quite well.

@herlas Sadly, TP does have limitations in the free version if I remember correctly. Like inability to schedule workouts into the future and have their training load estimated? Anyone can confirm?

That said, unless esteemed @Marius-Jacobsen-Eggerud returns to Suunto from COROS that has a pretty butt kicking web based front end with workout builder and calendar, I’d say neither Garmin nor Polar can hold a candle to TP and others. The flexibility and depth just isn’t there. Not to mention training load estimation and analysis, coaching features, and training plans.
