Suunto ZoneSense

A tiny-tiny bug that I’ve found.
When using Aerobic Decoupling and ZoneSense with ZoneSense displayed, an event (alert) from Aerobic Decoupling resets ZoneSense view to a default that contains time in each zone. So when a different value were cycled by the top button, it’s back to default view.

@Josaiplu It’s definitely possible that starting with a climb could affect your ZS reading. Since ZS uses the first 10 minutes to establish a baseline, hitting an incline right away might cause your HR to spike, making ZS think you’re more recovered than you actually are, especially if the rest of your run is easier. That could explain why it shows green when you feel it should be yellow. Just my take though, others might have more insight on this…

My main issue is the one pointed out by others above: As soon as I shift into a higher intensity, like the start of a steep uphill, ZS takes a nosedive and never catches up. You can see this on lots of the shared graphs. I thought this might be explained by the 3-minute data window, but that would only be relevant if my effort leading into the climb was extremely low, which it usually isn’t. I haven’t read a good explanation for why this happens. This is why I suggested a smoother algo to make the dips and peaks less severe.
I use Vertical with polar H10 and I have the same question.
How is it possible to be in the green zone during a steep uphill during 10 min / 150m ascend for exemple when my RPE and HR tell me that I am pushing hard ?
My exemple is after 50 min of trail, during the uphill first it’s low in the green zone then just before the top I reached the low yellow zone. -

I have been seeing the exact same thing up until yesterday (ZS dropping into low aerobic as I start climbing & increasing effort, basically reverse of what I’d expect to see).This was my first time out since ZS updated on Friday & it worked perfectly (ignore the 2 drops at around 1hr.12mins, I was skiving off work & had to take 2 phone calls whilst on the trail)
So from what I saw yesterday the update has worked has worked a treat.
Incidentally I uploaded a run on Friday around the time ZS updated & it totally screwed the results…

Wow never seen such coherent graph !
I thought I did the update, hard to be sure… -
@Kramble you can remove it and reinstall to be sure.

Thanks, but I already did, is there a way to check it ?
-
@Kramble Since the release is the updated version, reinstalling should work fine. I couldn’t find a way to check the exact version installed on the watch either.

This bug applies for all alerts unfortunately

I have been using Zonesense for a few weeks now and am struggling to interpret the results. In general Zonesense seems to underestimate the effort.
For example this 50 min bike session with a few very hard intervals ending in an all out effort: https://ibb.co/km0XgKx
It is interpreted by Zonesense as a mostly aerobic effort: https://ibb.co/WxwjhgM
(The all out end is even a low aerobic effort.)Suggestions on how to interpret this are welcome. I use a Suunto Race S with a Polar H9 HR belt.
