How to customize sport modes with Suunto app

SuuntoRun — 13 december 2018

Create your own, custom sport modes on the go with Suunto app to see exactly the metrics that matter the most to you. Trail runner Francois D’haene prefers a minimalistic approach.

Ultra-runner Francois D’haene wants to keep his sport modes simple. 

 

“To be able to personalize my watch is very important for me,” Francois D’haene says. 

On his trail running training sessions from home Francois likes to follow altitude, ascent and duration. For interval sessions he adds a screen with a lap table. In an ultra-race another key metric for Francois is distance.

“I don’t want to have 100 things [on my watch screen], I just want to have some important metrics.”

In ultra races duration, distance and ascent are key metrics for Francois.

Despite being first and foremost a runner, Francois also rides bikes and skis. In cycling, especially on the road, he also wants to see his speed and average speed.

When planning a sport mode for ski touring Francois highlights the importance of navigation: He includes a screen with the breadcrumb trail in his ski touring sport mode and usually plans an actual route. These add safety especially in poor weather and in white-out conditions.
