5.15.2.1. Using pace zones when exercising
When you record an exercise (see 5.1. Recording an exercise), and have selected pace as an
intensity target (see 5.1.2. Using targets when exercising) a pace zone gauge, divided into five
sections, is viewed. These five sections are shown around the outer edge of the sport mode
display. The gauge indicates the pace zone you have chosen as an intensity target 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 pace is outside the selected target zone.
In the exercise summary, you get a breakdown of how much time you have spent in each
zone.
5.15.3. Power zones
Power meter measures the amount of physical
eort needed to perform a certain activity. The
eort is measured in watts. The main advantage gained with a power meter is precision. The
power meter reveals exactly how hard you really work and how much power you produce. It
is also easy to see your progress when analyzing the watts.
Power zones can help you train with the correct power output.
Suunto 5 Peak has
five default power zones that you can use or you can define your own.
Power zones are available in all default sport modes for cycling, indoor cycling and mountain
biking. For running and trail running, you need to use the specific “Power” sport modes to get
power zones. If you are using custom sport modes, make sure your mode uses a power POD
so that you also get power zones.
