Suunto T6 manual Using the average heart rate in training, Starting your training and stopwatch

Using the average heart rate in training

In the Training Mode, the real-time average heart rate of the current lap can be displayed on the bottom row. You can use the training effect calculator of the Suunto Training Manager software to define the time and average heart rate needed for the desired physiological training effect. If you train close to the calculated average heart rate within the targeted total time, you will reach the desired training effect in the best possible way. The average heart rate is also a useful measure during training where the heart rate levels vary a lot, such as biking in hilly terrain. In these cases the target zone limits are less practical than the average heart rate training.

Starting your training and stopwatch

You can start your training by:

•Pressing START/STOP in the Training or SPD/DST modes and thus activating the Stopwatch.

•Using the countdown function, which upon reaching zero automatically starts the stopwatch and log.

If the Countdown function is on, number is displayed on the right hand side of the display.

Training possibilities

You can make the most out of your training by choosing the most suitable training method in your Suunto t6. The use of time or distance intervals and heart rate limits can greatly contribute to the overall effectiveness of your training.
