Third-party training
-
Come on Suunto, make a little effort to make Run compatible with third-party training programmes.

This comment should be in the section: Feature Suggestions.
Even though it concerns Run. -
@ADidier No this belongs in the Suunto Run category as the Run is the only watch that does not support Suunto+ apps. The guides from 3rd parties are essentially Suunto+ apps. Since the Run is Suunto’s budget run-focused watch I doubt this will change. My opinion and not that of Suunto.

@Brad_Olwin I hope you’re wrong
and that Suunto will manage to integrate at least third-party training programmes – for my half marathon preparation – and a few running tests – e.g. Cooper – because it’s running.
I agree with not having mapping, but at least for running it should be complete.

They limited sports modes on Run and did not give the ability to run Suunto+ apps. There is no marketing by Suunto to indicate they intend to give Run these capabilities. You likely should have got a Race / Race S / Race 2 instead.

@ADidier I understand and I like the Run a lot. However, enabling 3rd party workouts is likely to require S+ and I don’t think that will happen. Again, my opinion. At least you can make Interval workouts to match your 3rd party. That is what I do when I use the run.

@Brad_Olwin, I understand that the old operating system of the Race 2, Vertical 2 requires an addition in the form of additional applications, it was designed like this. I just hope that with this new software platform, Suunto will be able to communicate with third parties such as other watch brands (Garmin, Coros) that do not use Suunto+.
In the meantime, I hand transpose my Runna plans into interval training.

At the moment, there’s no sign the new OS used for the Run will be continued to be used. The Race 2 and Vertical 2 use the older OS and those watches were released after the Run. The Run OS was described as “an experiment” not as a direct successor.
