S+ Race pacer

A Former User

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

you’re right, forget my previous would like

@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 ?

@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)

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

herlas

@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.

forde.mic

@herlas thanks, I’ve tried that, but the values just seem to greyed with no option to edit them. Clicking on them does nothing.

isazi

@forde-mic which watch?

herlas

@isazi not sure if this behavior was there since the beginning and just becomes a waiting problem when the the lists of S+ apps you have is not short, but I’ve noticed that when I enter My Sports Apps section, it lists my apps in vertical order and it’s refreshing each buy one one in sequence from top to bottom, until it reaches the bottom, that’s when I can edit the Race Pacer app for example.
