4.19.1.1. Using HR zones when exercising
When you record an exercise (see 4.28. Recording an exercise), and have selected heart rate
as an intensity target (see 4.28.1. Using targets when exercising), an HR zone gauge, divided
into
five sections, is shown around the outer edge of the sport mode display (for all sport
modes that support HR). The gauge indicates in which HR zone you are currently training by
lighting up the corresponding section. The small arrow in the gauge indicates where you are
within the zone range.
Your watch alerts you when you hit your selected target zone. During your exercise the watch
will prompt you to speed up or slow down, if your heart rate is outside the selected target
zone.
In the exercise summary, you get a breakdown of how much time you have spent in each
zone.
4.19.2. Pace zones
Pace zones work just like HR zones but the intensity of your training is based on your pace
instead of your heart rate. The pace zones are shown either as metric or imperial value
depending on your settings.
Suunto 5 has
five default pace zones that you can use or you can define your own.
Pace zones are available for running.
