In endurance training, finding the right workout intensity is key to getting the best results. Many athletes wonder if they’re training too hard or not hard enough. Heart rate zones have been used to estimate intensity, but they don’t account for changes from one day to another, across different activity types or during long workouts.
Now, Suunto ZoneSense offers a breakthrough in tracking real-time intensity. It uses heart rate variability (HRV) to give accurate insights, helping athletes optimize their performance like never before.
All Suunto users training with a heart rate belt can unlock ZoneSense intensity analysis through the Suunto app. For real-time data, ZoneSense is available on the latest Suunto watches – Suunto Vertical, Suunto Race, Suunto Race S, Suunto Ocean, and Suunto 9 Peak Pro.
Step 1: Learn how to get started with Suunto ZoneSense. All you need is a Suunto sports watch, a Suunto heart rate belt and the Suunto app on your phone.
Step 2: Learn how to use Suunto ZoneSense in real-time, during an activity.
A great way to get started is by following ZoneSense during a long, easy endurance workout. Begin with a 10-minute warm-up that allows ZoneSense to establish your baseline for the day, then keep your effort in the green zone.
Step 3: Learn how to view Suunto ZoneSense data in the Suunto app.
Suunto ZoneSense lets athletes take control of their training like never before. It uses heart rate variability (HRV) to show whether your workout effort is aerobic (low stress) or anaerobic (high stress) in real time. With ZoneSense, you can fine-tune your intensity during any activity—running, cycling, swimming, and even team sports—helping you make every session count. Say goodbye to guessing your effort level and hello to smarter, more effective training.
Whether you’re building your aerobic base or pushing your limits with high-intensity intervals, ZoneSense is the key to unlocking your potential. It keeps your long runs in the optimal green zone, shows when you’ve hit your anaerobic threshold during intervals, and adapts seamlessly across different sports and conditions. By tracking real-world effort and avoiding overtraining, Suunto ZoneSense sets a new standard for athletes aiming to train with precision and perform at their best.
