To train with a TE target level (Suunto t3c and t4c only)

1. Press [View Back] in

TRAINING

mode until you see the

TE

view.

2. Adjust the target level by keeping [Light -] pressed while in

TE

view.

The countdown timer to the right of the TE target value indicates how much time
remains for you to reach the target at your current heart rate (training intensity).

mode to show the current (achieved)

Training Effect by keeping [View Back] pressed. Repeat to switch back to the heart rate view.

2.5 Using Coach (t4c)

Suunto Coach is a unique feature of Suunto t4c. It follows the guidelines of the American
College of Sport Medicine for exercise prescriptions and generates a training program
for the next 5 days based on your current fitness level and recorded training history.
Each program day includes a Training Effect (TE) target level and recommended training
duration.
To use the Suunto Coach recommendation:

1. Enter Coach by pressing [Start Stop] in the logbook main view.
2. Select the current day using [View Back] or [Light -].
3. Accept the recommendation by pressing [Mode].

This last step takes you directly to

TRAINING

mode with the TE target level and training

duration pre-set in the view. You can now start the log recorder and begin your training
session as normal.
