threshold test result : where to input ?
-
Hello,
I just ran the threshold test for runner (https://www.suunto.com/sports/News-Articles-container-page/test-your-fitness-with-suunto/).
It gave me 164 as my average threshold HR. I don’t know what to do with this information : where should I set this in my watch to set my HR zones ? In my profile, I can only modify my zone rom my max HR, not my average threshold HR.
Thank you
Regards,
XIII

In your the Link you posted is a Link to this Page
https://www.suunto.com/de-de/sports/News-Articles-container-page/Figure-out-your-training-zones-and-supercharge-your-fitness/There you get this Chart
Zone 5: Above your anaerobic threshold. Zone 5 ends at your max heart rate
Zone 4: 94–99 % of your anaerobic threshold. The upper limit of zone 4 is your anaerobic threshold
Zone 3: 89-93 % of your anaerobic threshold
Zone 2: 83-88 % of your anaerobic threshold. The upper limit of zone 2 is your aerobic threshold
Zone 1: <82 % of your anaerobic threshold. Zone 1 starts at your resting heart rate.
Happy Running with your New zones

I have another problem. I ran with the threshold test app. The result is different from what I see on my watch. 170 versus 158 bpm. Which of the two metrics should I trust?
A month ago, my Garmin epix gen 2 pro showed me 169 bpm in its own test. -
@efbill sounds like you train your anaerobic Treshhold. The garmin was 158 and now 169? Correct? The Treshhold from your Garmin was on cycling or running Sport mode? The Definition from the anaerobic Treshhold is the power that you can hold for 30-45 minutes until your muscels are full of lactat. You can train this range… So i think in your case it is not very important if it is 158 or 169. Took the middle value from 164 BPM. If you see in next Training that you are average heart rate above the 164 than set it to 169. Exactly you can define this zones in a Spiroergometrie in a lab.

@efbill I would trust the 170 of the test, the “threshold” in the progress menu is a black box that I dont know how it works and may not be working for some people (me included)

Thank you. That’s exactly what I did.

Suunto neasures or make vo2max tag if you train much time in your Training in end from zone 4 and zone 5 (orange and red) there it is necessary that you set your heart rate zones correcly, means if you know your anaerob Treshhold you have set THIS Treshhold to end from zone 4! Means if you know for example that your anaerobic Treshhold is 168 beats per minutes than you have to set the 168 as end from zone 4. Zone 5 starts then at 169 until your maximal heart rate. Second you have define your areobic Treshhold, its the point where your body begin to produce lactat. This you have set correct as ending from zone 2 (Green Zone) . The other heart rate zones you can set how you think its good for you. Zone 1 ends normal at 60% from your maximal heart rate!
