ZoneSense

Is there any info on the kinds of runs zoneSense can best make use of to calibrate? There’s info one the kinds or runs it doesn’t work well with - short intervals, longer runs etc. but I really don’t like wearing an HR strap so I’m likely to only wear it on specific runs I know zoneSense will be able to use to advise on my LT. So it would be good to know which runs

My initial guess would be longer intervals (such as 3mins or 5mins with 1min recovery) or possibly threshold / tempo runs but these are entirely guesswork so anyone have any more specific info?

Should I go to the doctor?

ZS calculated an LT like my “normal” AT during a ski touring activity

@Mff73 not you, ZS algorithm might need to, it’s software right, can’t be bug free

@Mff73 Or rather, due to cumulative fatigue or whatever the reason, you reached anaerobic threshold much sooner than in well rested state?

@jussim i didnt got red zone while doing intervalls… Heart rate Zone 5 but zone sense says GREEN ??? Whats going on here?

@GiPFELKiND as far as I understand it, reacting on short intervalls is NOT what Zonesense is capable of and made for. It’s more suitable for longer „phases“.

Actually I would interpret it that way, that your interval workout was deemed aerobic as a whole and that you could increase intensity, if you want. Zonesense is not about HR measurement, Suunto says, but about Heart measurement, measuring the stress of the heart. And I think it makes sense, seeing that after your short intervals Zonesene tracks you moving into higher aerobic states.

There is a pretty good youtube video from Suunto, describing this.

Might be, as I am exercising a little bit more in holidays. But, according to ZS I spent 49min in VO2max zone .

@Mff73 I suspect what this is saying is that your heart doesn’t like it much when you run up and down mountains The time you were at the top and when you were on the flat bit near the end it was much happier

I have seen similar and ZS exactly on my LT. Depends on the day.

This is by far the easiest to digest explanation of the behavior I have seen. This makes perfect sense.
