Suunto T3/T3C/D - Suunto T4/T4C/D - Suunto T6/T6C/T6D : extend your training horizons

IMPORTANT: Suunto T4 / Suunto T4C??

This the third version of the very popular Suunto T4. The NEW Suunto T4C has two big advantages over the older T4.

1) The new Suunto T4C comes with a VERY COMFORTABLE heart rate belt... this new belt has the electrodes built in to the SOFT flexible part of the strap. It is only the very small central section that is rigid, and that sits over the sternum very discretely. This is a VAST improvement on the older style heart rate straps.

2) The new Suunto T4C can provide PEDAL CADENCE, revolutions per minute. This is an attractive feature for road racing cyclists. The older T4 cannot support the new cadence pod

PLEASE READ THIS.. this is the important bit... if you buy a different HRM... you will kick yourself. TRAINING EFFECT is something that everyone can relate to, at all levels of fitness, please read on... thank you.

What if you could glance at your wrist and see the total aerobic benefit of your workout in real-time? And what if at the end of your workout you knew exactly how much the session improved your aerobic condition? By all measures, you'd be wearing the Suunto t4 heart rate monitor with Training Effect.

Training Effect takes the guesswork out of working out with a heart rate monitor. More powerful than traditional zone training systems, Training Effect keeps you on-target for achieving your goal, whether it's weight loss, cardiovascular health or shaving minutes off a marathon. Here's how:

Working from your personal fitness profile, the Suunto t4 analyzes your heartbeats and translates the data into a simple, one-to-five Training Effect scale. Think of it as a personal training guide. If, for example, you want to improve your aerobic fitness at a moderate tempo, you should work out until your TE meter reads 3.0 to 3.9 (2 to 4 times weekly).

It is THAT EASY, really, it is.

Alternatively, if you want to improve your aerobic condition rapidly without the risk of overtraining, you should push yourself until your TE meter reads 4.0 to 4.9 (1 to 2 times weekly with a few recovery sessions in the TE 1.0 to 2.0 range).

It's important to note that Training Effect is relative to each user. While a novice runner might achieve a TE of 4.0 on a four-mile jog, a professional runner might have to complete an uphill marathon to get the same reading. Both runners will have to exercise "hard" to achieve a TE of 4.0.

In addition to Training Effect, the Suunto t4 displays heart rate, calories burned and zone training. It also shows speed and distance with optional Suunto PODs.

The onboard logbook has a 15 workout memory, and archiving and further analysis are available with a Suunto PC POD and Training Manager Lite PC software.

Additional functions include dual time, date, alarm and stopwatch with split/lap.

General Information about Suunto T4C heart rate monitor

Maximize workouts with real-time Training Effect - daily feedback from your personal COACH

DIGITAL heart rate transmission using Suunto ANT technology to avoid unwanted crosstalk from other HRM users and electrical equipment. The Suunto ANT belt has the best transmission range of all the HRM we sell, about 6 - 9 metres, compared to 1.3 metres as standard from all other makes.

More than a heart rate monitor, the Suunto t4c helps you train with confidence by providing real-time information on the aerobic benefit of each workout. Are you over or under-training? Sweating hard enough to reach your goals? The Suunto t4c knows and tells with real-time Training Effect.

It's good to have a goal. And it's even better to have a plan. Designed for athletes in training, the Suunto t4 monitors your progress and makes intelligent workout recommendations for frequency, duration and intensity. Whether you accept or decline a recommended workout, the Suunto t4c continues to adapt, maintaining an up-to-date plan for your athletic success.

Using the Suunto Coach feature, the Suunto t4c heart rate monitor generates a 5-day plan for improving your aerobic condition. Employing Training Effect technology, it tells you which days to workout with information on duration and intensity.

If you accept a recommended workout, the Suunto t4c heart rate monitor will guide you through the session to make sure you receive the proper training load. If you decline a recommended workout in favor of a rest day or a non-recommended workout, the Suunto t4c will continue to monitor and adapt, adjusting your 10-day plan accordingly.

Salient t4c heart rate monitor features include Training Effect, heart rate, calories burned, and speed and distance with optional Suunto PODs. Additional functions include dual time, date, alarm and stopwatch with split/lap.

Equipped with optional PC POD and Training Manager Lite PC software, you can transfer data to your PC and easily maintain a personal training log

Plan for success with Suunto Coach

When? What intensity? And how long? The Suunto t4c shows the way. Equipped with Suunto Coach, the Suunto t4c adapts to your changing physiology, making on-target workout recommendations for achieving your goals

Essential, accurate and easy to use - BHIP comment:

The Suunto T4C heart rate monitor is another Suunto HRM that will make most other heart rate monitors obsolete. The ease of use and realtime feedback is what makes this a MUST HAVE Heart Rate Monitor for ALL LEVELS of exerciser, from complete novice to professional athlete. The Suunto COACH programme is what makes this unit that little bit better than the Suunto T3C HRM. It is the ONLY difference between the two. If you don't think you'll use the COACH program - stick with the T3C.
