      Is there any mode for speed/brisk/racewalking?

      From Suunto support,I’ve got feedback that I am walking too fast 🙂 for that mode and that I should use running instead.

      But when I use running it seems that it is slow for that mode.

      It would be nice to put it in some new update if it is not exist.

      Any advice/suggestion?

      Thx.

        @djordje-s maybe try a custom sport mode based on walking with the metrics you care about?

          @isazi I was thinking to do that but in that case I need to do some research :)))))
          From where I should try that?Watch or app?
          And if app will that be synch with phone?

            @djordje-s app, the manual should tell you how to do that.

                  @isazi Thx.Still I would like more if Suunto could add it as a sport.If they created mode for Fishing,I doubt that anyone will complain for speed walking :)))))

                    Heck, we even saw requests for trendy 2 person canoeing on this forum 😂 . So why not

                        Hi @Djordje-S, since it’s an Olympic sport I will say, it make sense to ask.

                          @djordje-s what was your speed if you don’t mind me asking? And also what did the excessive speed impact?

                              @djordje-s little clarification 🙂 When I contacted Suunto support,they’ve asked me to share with them few exercises from Suunto app and after that advise was to change it to running mode.

                                @suzzlo I believe that there are some people who are not in the mood to run that day but again to have some speed walk in order to practice/relax 🙂

                                  @djordje-s I would still use the walking sportsmode and create a new one calling it „speed walking“ etc. I often do Nordic Walking were my pace is between 10-12 min/km uphill, about 8-9 min/km on flat ground and when it goes downhill again I usually „run“ with both poles in one hand at around 6-7 min/km - have no problems with „walking too fast“ ? Too fast for what ?

                                    @chrisa maybe GPS smoothing algos are not tweaked for these kind of speeds? I would be interested in what is impacted too.

                                      @chrisa well,it seems that walking mode is made for 4-6km/h and everything above that is under running :). Again,for running you have to have some higher speed so it seems that area between 6-9/10 should be covered by some speed walking mode 🙂

                                        @djordje-s like @suzzlo pointed out,it is afterall Olympic sport so it should be asked 🙂

                                          @djordje-s true, but not all Olympic sports are present on the watch anyway, aren’t they?

                                            @dmytro I coupd not agreed more :))))) Just per my opionion ,speed walking is something which is more represented during exercise.
