Need some advice in TSS
-
@Brad_Olwin Thanks for the information, but at the moment I can’t use it because I can’t use hrTSS - the OHR varies too much.
So until I start using a proper chest strap I have to use something else that even if it’s not accurate at least is consistent and rTSS is the one that I find it makes sense - at least judging from its description using NGP makes it suitable for trail runs as well.
Tomorrow I will do a test run on a trail run and see how much different is vs hrTSS. Then will do a flat run and compare as well. But in the end I feel like I’m wasting time and should just get a chest strap.Suunto Vertical Ti

I would also like to thank the commenters in this thread because your words resolved a quandary I encountered today: My 70 minutes run well below AeT was given a TSS of 81 and a very visible peak in the SA ‘Progress’ graph. Looking at the details of the activity the TSS was defined as TSS
, as opposed to previous runs which had been TSS (hr).Searching the web for the method by which Suunto classifies the activity, an article (at Suunto) said that is was automatic but based on how we had defined our HR/Pace and Power Zones. And it so happens that I changed unrealistic paces yesterday (they were much too fast) to measured and estimated values more in line with the AeT and AnT HR results. So my editing seems to have given the SA a sort of ‘go ahead’ to use TSS
as a default for running.Another posting, think it was in this forum, spoke about how you got a choice when editing the TSS at TrainingPeaks of which method you would like as the default in the future. Trying the same strategy in the SA yielded the exact same result. I was asked if I would like the TSS (hr) only for this activity, or to set it as a default.
The TSS (hr) today of 57 I would deem much closer to reality than the TSS (r ) of 81 - if indeed a TSS of 100 should be considered as 1 hour at AnT.
PS: Sorry about the Registered
marks above. I’m writing in a sideloaded Chrome browser on a ‘Smart TV’ and can’t scroll backwards to change the text, which should read as TSS (r )… -
@sorinus Agreed. I do not exercise without a strap. Plus ZoneSense is a game changer.
