Runner or triathlete, we tell you the news offered by the new Suunto 5 at their career mode so you don't lose any details of your workouts:

Before starting, from the clock itself, that is, without using the app, you can choose different types of training.

You can set career and recovery intervals, both for its duration and for its distance, which will allow you to perform a good series or fartlek training.

If the goal of your training is a long run, you can travel a path previously made or create a route through the app, even by registering PDI (Point of Interest) to later make a route to it.

During your career training you will have a regular record of duration, distance, speed, heart rate, altitude, calories, cadence, etc. That you can observe later in the various points of your training.

The Suunto 5 watch has the FusedSpeedTM technology, a combination of GPS readings and wrist acceleration sensor that allows more accurate reading at stable running speeds and faster responses to speed changes.

It also allows in situations of temporary failure of the GPS signal, such as buildings or tunnels, to continue displaying accurate speed readings with the help of the GPS calibrated accelerometer.
