5.7. SuuntoPlus: TrainingPeaks
TrainingPeaks provides real time view for Training Stress Score
Ⓡ
(TSS
Ⓡ
) as well as
Normalized Power
Ⓡ
(NP
Ⓡ
) for cycling and Normalized Graded Pace™ (NGP™) for running.
These TrainingPeaks features are widely used in endurance training and your Suunto 9 gives
you a possibility to follow these metrics while working out.
When your exercise is
finished, the TrainingPeaks metrics will be available in the summary. For
long term analysis, make sure to have your Suunto 9 connected to TrainingPeaks via Suunto
app.
The TrainingPeaks features are divided into three segments.
TrainingPeaks – Cycling power
Normalized Power
Ⓡ
(NP
Ⓡ
) Cycling
Normalized Power
Ⓡ
(NP
Ⓡ
) is retrieved from measured watts and takes the variance between
a steady and a
fluctuating workout into account to calculate the physiological cost – how
much stress you can put your body under vs. how much recovery is required. Normalized
Power
Ⓡ
(NP
Ⓡ
) estimates your average power, if you would have ridden in steady
eort.
Requires the use of a cycling power meter.

Training Stress Score
Ⓡ
(TSS
Ⓡ
)
Any workout that contains power, pace or heart rate data can be assigned a Training Stress
Score
Ⓡ
(TSS
Ⓡ
) value. Training Stress Score
Ⓡ
(TSS
Ⓡ
) tells you the overall training load and
physiological stress created by a training session, taking into account the duration and
intensity of a workout.
Being able to follow the training load in real time lets you adjust the
eort and duration of the
exercise on the go, helping you reach your goal.
Long term training load data can be analyzed in the TrainingPeaks app.
