In the off-season, I have the chance to do some skate skiing, some downhill and other fun activities.
Of course, some of these do not provide the opportunity for using a power meter to record and quantify.
Some time ago on the wattage list, there was discussion about Hunter Allen’s Pez interview and his desire to incorporate ventilation recording in with power and other data. That brought me back to using my Suunto T6 on a regular basis. One thing I like about using it in conjunction with a powermeter is the ability to record altitude gained (which I track) without having a GPS.
One thing I dislike about it (and moving to an SRM wireless would solve this) is the multiple recording devices and/or HR straps.
All that aside, I have been tracking the Suunto for a bit, and using a slice of off-season data, I wanted to see if there were any correlation to the Suunto Training Effect and/or EPOC values to TSS.
This would be a nice to have tool to use to approximate the TSS for non-power based workouts.
I have to say that I am not exactly ecstatic with the results:
