Suunto ZoneSense

@VoiGAS I am currently using the Morpheus belt.

that system looks interesting, how are you liking it?

@stromdiddily So far I am liking it. You need to have the belt to unlock all the features in the app. Currently no Suunto integration but maybe at some point. I pair it to my watch but also sync to the Morpheus app. They calculate your HR zones daily based on recovery so they are dynamic as opposed to the static ones most go by.

I did an FTP test on Zwift yesterday. Zwift concluded that my FTP is at 284W. I was running ZoneSense on my Suunto Race. As hown in picture below, ZoneSense i the Suunto app indicated that i was going from anaerobic to VO2 max at ~284W. This single test shows very prommising results.

ZoneSense is possible with the Ambit series? Wow - I did not know. I almost asked about this a few days ago, bit assumed it was a stupid question
How does this work in practice, as I thought the app had to be activated in the watch?

@wakarimasen no, you also get ZoneSense data in Suunto app retrospectively for all exercises, which have R-R intervals data (that’s true for all exercises done with the Suunto smart sensor, Polar H10, etc.)

You will not see ZS live on the watch, which is the major reason to use it in my opinion. However, you will see ZS in the app after you finish the workout if you use a belt that measures electrical activity for the heart, not an optical belt.

The algorithm seems to need more development. Below is the ZoneSense plot from 5x hill repeats to max effort on a treadmill.
When running endurance pace I get a steady 142-146 bpm threshold. But no estimate of anaerobic from this workout?
Seems I barely left my aerobic threshold zone

@Oxhill_Runner the intervals aren’t long enough, from the resources given (and my experience) they need to be nearing 4 minutes long to get into anaerobic range from ZS - although you can see cumulative fatigue building up from the graph.

Steady state efforts and longer intensity is what it’s designed to log.
