S+ Race pacer

isazi

@Antoine because it can adjust the pace on its own depending on the strategy, and helps less expert users than don’t want to do the pace math themselves

Likarnik

@isazi so we need third option as Antoine said I would like to set 4:15min/km and run, that’s it, no percentages and other compilations. I think this can be most basic of all 3 apps, but for me most useful.

Antoine

@Likarnik indeed, most of the time for every day trainings we don’t know exactly the distance we will do (except in competition). That’s why pace target could be usefull. I agree, it could be a third S+ app.

@Antoine @Likarnik about “Pace” => when I wan’t to train at a spectific pace I would more likely use structured workout and set pace as a target.

The S+ Race pacer has “Race” in its name and that’s what I would use it for : when racing a 10km, half-marathon, marathon.

I won’t use it for trail running or for training in general. Structured workout are much better for this.

for this you just set a pace target in your pre-start screen. No need to use the new progressive pacer S+

true but unfortunately, not all activities include the ability to set the pace e.g. nordic walking

@robis oh

Tieutieu

@Egika What is that option ? I don’t know it ?

Either he’s referring to Target Pace Zone (“Zones d’intensité > Zones d’allure”) or else something else I don’t have on my S9PP.

Tieutieu

@taziden ok thanks. I don’t use target pace zone for now.

Antoine

@isazi i have tested it. It seems possible to go over the set distance keeping the same computed targeted pace. That’s right ?

Francesco Pagano

@Egika there doesn’t seem to be any such option on S9PP

@Francesco-Pagano read manual:
https://www.suunto.com/Support/Product-support/suunto_9_peak_pro/suunto_9_peak_pro/recording-an-exercise/using-targets-when-exercising/

there’s HR zones, pace zones and power zones.

Walking allows me to set a pace intensity zone and I am sure Nordic walking dues too.

Egika

@Brad_Olwin really? for walking I only have HR zones… in Race and Vertical…

@Egika
You are night! Why did they do that?

OK I am wrong! I would record as a run and change in the app to Nordic walking. I will bring this up.

Long waited app. A few days ago I was thinking about ‘pacer pro’ analogue and here it is. Can’t wait to use it on a race!
PS: pace zone as a target could be used as a pacer only after editing specific zone in the watch and narrowing it to desired pace. Not as comfortable as pacer app (I guess)
