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.

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.

Which training really works?

Which training really works?

We compare polarized training, threshold training and AI optimized endurance training. AI optimized training yields the best results, followed by polarized training with threshold training in third. The results are inline with current exercise physiology research. If the training composition is not optimized to the individual athlete, substantially smaller gains are to be expected.
