Suunto Training Manager Log review for Jonathan Hinkle

posted on May 12, 2009 by JonathanFit

April Training Log April was the first full month using the Suunto t6c with Comfort belt, Foot POD, and Bike Pod. After each workout I would upload it to the Training Software to review it. I focused on the Training Effect (TE) from each workout. You see it at the top of the graph as the dot showing the level each in the workout. The five red shaded areas represent each TE. Starting with the lightest area as a 1 and continuing up to the darkest area as a 5.
1 TE is recovering
2 TE is maintaining
3 TE is   improving
4 TE is highly imporving
5 TE is overreaching
 For the most part you see I am between a 2 and 3. My monthly average was 2.9. The 3 large spikes were races where I was not holding back. Note these are my run and bike workouts with some brick workouts of a bike followed with a run. I have not included any of my swim workouts for April, I was in the pool 15 times for 1 hour each workout.
The bottom of the chart shows the total time of each workout as the red bars. The shortest being 20 minutes and the longest being 3:40:00.  The gray shaded area stepping up from left to right is the running total of time.
My focus for next month is to dial in all achieveing a TE of 3 for each workout. My goal is to focus my workouts and get the most got you keep one.
