Hello TheEd
I did the 4k test run yesterday. Not sure yet about all the functionality of my new Suunto, but you may try to access the run with lots of details on the movescount website, this is move756235 (I could not post the link here)
As a summary, I did the run on an indoor 400m track. The GPS had no coverage (would have needed the Foot Pad now...) so I recorded the laps manually on the watch. Here are the lap times and HRs:
1) 1:46, 150bpm
2) 1:49, 167bpm
3) 1:53, 170bpm
4) 1:56, 170bpm
5) 2:03, 170bpm
6) 2:02, 170bpm
7) 2:02, 170bpm
8) 2:00, 171bpm
9) 1:50, 175bpm
10) 1:40, 181bpm
Total 19:03, 169bpm (max 182)
I think I started slightly too fast, and then had to drop a bit as I felt I will not be able to keep the pace. 170 seems like a sustainable HR for this type of run. On the last lap I really could not get the HR up above 182, so maybe that's my maximum. In all, I was quite happy with my first run on a track, and I think this is really the maximum I can do at this point.
