target by lighting up the corresponding section. The small arrow in the gauge indicates where
you are within the zone range.
Your watch alerts you when you hit your selected target zone. During your exercise the watch
will prompt you to speed up or slow down, if your power is outside the selected target zone.
In addition, there is a dedicated display for power zones in the sport mode default display.
The zone display shows your current power zone in the middle field, how long you have been
in that zone, and how far away you are in power to the next zones up or down. The middle
bar also lights up, indicating that you are training in the correct pace zone.
In the exercise summary, you get a breakdown of how much time you have spent in each
zone.
3.17. Interval training
Interval workouts are a common form of training consisting of repetitive sets of high and low
intensity efforts. With Suunto Spartan Trainer Wrist HR, you can define in the watch your own
interval training for each sport mode.
When defining your intervals, you have four items to set:
Intervals: on/off toggle that enables interval training. When you toggle this on, an interval
•
training display is added to your sport mode.
Repetitions: the number of interval + recovery sets you want to do.
•
Interval: the length of your high intensity interval, based on distance or duration.
•
Recovery: the length of your rest period between intervals, based on distance or duration.
•
Keep in mind that if you use distance to define your intervals, you need to be in a sport mode
that measures distance. The measurement can be based on GPS, or from a foot or bike POD,
for example.
NOTE: If you are using intervals, you cannot activate navigation.
To train with intervals:
1. From the launcher, select your sport.
2. Before you start an exercise recording, press the lower right button to open the sport
mode options.
