SUUNTO t6c RUNNING GUIDE

Suunto Running GuideThe software generated Max performance capability forActivity classes 7.5 to 10 may not reflect your runningperformance precisely. You can personalise your settingby using the running performance Tables 3.2c (male)and 3.2d (females).Select the distance and your individual time and readoff the Max performance capability value then enterthis figure in the Max performance capability box in thePersonal settings.Using the automatic software settings may producea mismatch between the Activity class and Maxperformance capability (METs). In addition age, sex andheritage might limit your VO2max despite very hardtraining.It is logical therefore to set the Activity class and EPOClevel (Training Effect) based on weekly training hours(Activity time) – Table 3.1a and to personalise your Maxperformance capability (METs) by running performanceusing Tables 3.2c (male) or 3.2d (female).If your running performance gives you anActivity class of 7.5-10 by METs you shoulduse this setting even if your Activity time islower. If your Activity time produces a higherActivity class do not increase it by more than2 classes above its normal valueThe allocation of Activity class by running performancebecomes more complex for Activity classes 0 -7 as Maxperformance capability (METs) will be calculated fromyour age, height and weight in addition to the Activityclass you initially enter.To overcome this problem simply use Tables 3.2c (male)and Table 3.2d (females) to identify Max performancecapability and Table 3.1a to assess Activity class by yourLevel of activity or weekly training hours (Activity time).NOTEIF YOU USE ACTIVITY TIME TO CALCULATEYOUR ACTIVITY CLASS AND RUNNINGPERFORMANCE TO SET MAX PERFORMANCECAPABILITY YOU SHOULD DISABLE THEAUTOMATIC UPDATE FUNCTIONYOU CAN DISABLE AND ENABLE AUTOMATICUPDATES IN THE ‘PERSONAL’ ‘EDIT’ MENUREMEMBER TO REVIEW YOUR SETTINGSAT REGULAR INTERVALS TO ENSURE THEYREFLECT CURRENT ACTIVITY TIME AND MAXPERFORMANCE CAPABILITY14
