Suunto today announced a co-operation with TrainingPeaks, the leader in endurance training and coaching apps. Suunto and TrainingPeaks have been compatible since 2015, but the new integration will allow a wider range of Suunto users to gain access to their powerful training insights.

Both Suunto and TrainingPeaks are already popular amongst the goal-oriented athletes. As Suunto offers the best tools for measuring the training data, TrainingPeaks creates endurance training apps and solutions based on that data to help athletes and coaches prepare the right way to reach their goals.
