S+ Race pacer

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.

@Likarnik said in S+ Race pacer:

as Antoine said I would also like to set e.g. 4:15min/km and run

@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.

@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.

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)

forde.mic

How do you change the settings (distance/duration) for this app. They are locked out in the android app.

@forde-mic you have to until the sync of the S+ app finishes for it to allow you to edit values. Wait for some secs, once the watch is syncing message disappears, you can edit values.
