How to use Suunto Guides with AI Endurance


We show you in a few simple steps how to connect Suunto Guides with your AI Endurance account. You can get live workout instructions that are optimized to you by our AI. You can also easily determine your training zones and thresholds via a simple ramp test that utilizes your heart rate variability (HRV) data.

How to connect Suunto Guides

Suunto Guides
  • From AI Endurance: go to the AI Endurance Apps page. From Suunto: go to your Suunto App profile -> Partner Services -> Connect AI Endurance
  • Click on Suunto.
  • Agree for AI Endurance to import your data and export workouts to your Suunto Guides

Synchronisation between AI Endurance and Suunto is automatic: whenever you request a new plan or modify your workouts, we will automatically forward these changes to Suunto Guides.

We import your Suunto history so our AI can learn which training has worked best for you in the past. AI Endurance predicts your future performance if you stick to your plan. We regularly assess your progress and if necessary let the AI re-calculate your optimal plan for your Suunto Guides.

How to determine your zones and thresholds

We automatically update your zones and thresholds from your in-activity HRV data using DFA a1. Your Suunto watch automatically records your HRV data if you wear a high quality heart rate strap such as the Suunto Smart Sensor.

If you want to assess your zones and thresholds right away you can perform a simple ramp test in Suunto Guides with only a few steps:

DFA alpha 1 ramp test
  • Go to the AI Endurance Apps page
  • Click "Push Ramp Test to Suunto"
  • A ramp test will be scheduled for today on your Suunto Guides immediately
  • After the test, you will be prompted to confirm your zones with your newly detected HRV values in the AI Endurance dashboard

It is important for constructive training to have your training zones set correctly. AI Endurance takes out the guesswork by continuously monitoring your training zones. By utilizing the most recent research in HRV, we can set these parameters without the need of a physiology lab. You only need to wear a heart rate strap that records high quality HRV data.

New readiness to train and durability HRV metrics

New readiness to train and durability HRV metrics

Daily readiness to train is affected by many factors including sleep, illness and training load. Heart rate variability (HRV) readiness to train metrics typically rely on measurements taken immediately upon waking in the morning. We introduce an HRV readiness to train and a durability metric based on DFA alpha 1 (a1) measurements taken during exercise. These new metrics provide additional insights and do not require you to measure HRV upon waking.

Reflection on the European Championships – race report

by Grant Paling. I’m back. It’s been a few weeks and ultimately, a lot of time to process what happened. If you’ve been following my European Age Group Championship adventures, you will know that the triathlon went well. Very well. But let me give you a deeper insight into the race, the mentality I took into it and then in following blogs I’ll reflect on how that performance was achieved using AI Endurance.

DFA alpha 1 HRV based (an)aerobic threshold estimation

DFA alpha 1 HRV based (an)aerobic threshold estimation

DFA (detrended fluctuation analysis) alpha 1 is an HRV (heart rate variability) based aerobic and anaerobic threshold estimation method. It only requires a heart rate monitor that tracks HRV data. It has the potential to track your thresholds automatically without dedicated test workouts.
