Suunto ZoneSense

@VoiGAS I see similar results & have posted about it above.
As the workload increases significantly ZS often suggests the complete opposite.
Someone will be along shortly to tell you that you need to read ALL the literature & watch ALL the videos before you can make any sense of it… (but won’t actually provide any answers)
All I’ve gleaned so far is that we may be running on the wrong type of trail or the hills we’re running up aren’t long enough

@Mattg576 Right, I also think it works just in special circumstances. I watched a lot of the videos and I understand it reacts slowly. But how long am I supposed to run in the red zone.
But maybe it will improve and maybe I also find a usecase for it -
@VoiGAS Janne said there is a lag of about 2 minutes that ZoneSense needs to react to something. So you need a prolonged effort of those two or three minutes to make any sense of ZoneSense. It is nothing for short periods. Also it is said that the actual curve doesn’t matter, only the color…
If you match that with your workout, you see that the increased effort beginning at your 30 minute mark pushed it in the yellow Zone about 10 minutes later.ZoneSense works best, if you have longer intervals with constant effort.
Personally I think the tool is interesting, but it doesn’t fit every job. And it is still in the early stages. When Suunto can bring down that 2 minute lag it would be even more helpful…

@2b2bff I know, but its not like there was no effort between the peaks. I just did them to reach the red zone. If I would have done it in a race it would have been over for me, but Zonesense signals ‘Everything is ok’.
So if it only works if I control my effort right, then I have no idea what the usecase is.Don’t get me wrong, I really love new technology like this. But how it can be a benefit I just don’t understand
