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.
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.
Connect your Suunto to AI Endurance: Go to your Suunto App profile -> Partner Services -> Connect AI Endurance
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:
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.
When it comes to excelling in endurance sports such as triathlon, running or cycling proper nutrition plays a crucial role in maximizing your performance and achieving your goals. Whether you're swimming, cycling, or running, your body requires optimal fuel to meet the energy demands of these activities. In this blog post, we'll explore the importance of nutrition in triathlon, running, and cycling, followed by an introduction to the new feature of AI Endurance which provides recommendations for daily and activity specific nutrition requirements individualized for each athlete.
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.
by Stefano Andriolo. Building on previous work, we refine a method to accurately determine the relationship between DFA alpha 1 and power. This method can be used to track fitness and thresholds of an athlete. We find in some cases ramp detection tends to overestimate thresholds, a finding mirrored in recent physiological papers. On the other hand, thresholds based on clustering of DFA alpha 1 values tend to agree well with this new method. We propose a hybrid lab and everyday workout experiment to further study the relationship.
by Stefano Andriolo, Markus Rummel and Iñigo Tolosa. We present a new real time feature of evaluating readiness to train based on in-activity heart rate variability (HRV) measurements during the warm up of your activity. You can use this feature in the newest version of the alphaHRV Garmin Connect IQ app at no additional cost.
