ZoneSense not working properly during runs
-
Hello!
I have tried using ZoneSense in real-time on my Suunto Run after version 3.22.18, but I am afraid it doesn’t work properly.
The needle stays either at the beginning or at the peak of the green zone most of the time, no matter my BPM. And I got until 170 BPM, and everything was green, which is impossible!
This happened to me in all my runs (5).
I am using the Polar H9 chest strap. I Any advice? Thanks!

Looks familiar, though I’m using ZoneSense to check for stuff after my runs and not in real-time. Here’s an interval run I did recently:
The graph doesn’t turn yellow (anaerobic) until at around 173-174 heart rate. Using a Polar H10 chest strap.

For me it seems that Your first 10 minutes need to be reeeeeeaaaaly slow for the zonesense to be able to do reasonable estimations
-
@Tomi Thanks for your graph! Then it seems it’s similar to mine. I am not sure our readings are working as intended…
-
Here’s an another run, a slow one with an average HR of 134. According to ZS I spent 34% of the time in the anaerobic zone here.
It seems to me like ZS is doing some sort of calibration during the first 10 minutes along the lines of: “Take the highest heart rate reading from the first 10 minutes and establish that + 10 as the aerobic threshold”.

@thanasis I’d say my pace is quite slow, it’s kind of slow jogging. My bpm is usually around 120.
-
I know it is different but I feel that zonesense combined with something like running dynamics that Suunto had in the past would be better
-
ZoneSense has lost its credibility for me after these stats. Anaerobic threshold okay, could be, but aerobic threshold is just unrealistic.
-
@cheetah694 relax, ZS as any other algos will have a “bad” day, take it with a grain of salt
-
@herlas Yup, the only numbers I still trust on my watch are time, distance & speed.
