Suunto t6 provides you with a lot of new data from your training that previously could only be measured in laboratory
tests. When you begin using Suunto t6 in your training, we recommend first finding out what your EPOC value and other measured values are in your normal training. This way you will slowly learn how to compare the training
feeling to the measured values and estimate what kind of training you must do in order to reach the desired effect.
As your experience grows, you will find out that your feelings will not always match the values measured from the
training. This helps you identify situations where you may need to modify your training.

The accuracy of Suunto Training Manager's performance analysis is largely dependent on the correctness of
the background information you have specified. If you have performed a maximum performance test in a laboratory,
you will likely find all the background information required by the software from the test results. When you enter
the data to the respective fields on the "Personal" page, your personal training
effect levels are updated to match the test results.
If you have the chance to get tested in a
laboratory while wearing the Suunto t6, you can get reference values from the
laboratory results for all values measured by Suunto t6. You can later use this
data in your normal training.
EPOC correlates strongly with the lactic acid level of your body. If the laboratorytests include lactate measurement, you can use the information as reference data in other training done at the
same EPOC range as the laboratory test. In long-duration training, this correlation
is not as strong.
