Intervals.icu now supports uploading workouts to Suunto devices using the new SuuntoPlus Guides feature. Just tick the “Upload planned workouts” box in /settings and authorise Intervals.icu:
The next week or so of planned workouts matching the workout types filter will be uploaded to Suunto and synced with your watch. Step targets using power, heart rate, pace and cadence are supported.
SuuntoPlus Guides works with the Suunto 3, Suunto 5, Suunto 9 product family watches with the latest software version (2.20.28.). The Suunto App also needs to be updated with the latest release which was launched in early March.
Update 3rd April 2022
Update 2nd April 2022:
There is now a notification before each set of repeats summarising the upcoming intervals. Have a look at the walkthrough for this workout below:
Easy run around the block with a couple of repeats.
Warmup
- 10m ramp 70% HR press lap
Main set 3x
- Hard 1m 85% HR press lap
- Easy 2m 75% HR press lap
Cooldown
- 10m ramp 70% HR press lap
Note that I have included “press lap” for each step so they can be ended using the lap button.
Maybe this is not fully integration related but would IT be possibile to set as a goal of workout step distance instead of duration (exchangebly)? Many dubbing workout are based on distance.
Hi, i just started defining trainings with intervals.icu for my suunto. I love parsed-text way of it, but have a question: when people do workouts prepared by trainingpeaks, suunto gives dedicated, good-looking notifications about changing segment. When i do training from intervals.icu, suunto gives me only notification just like about lap end, without new segment name. Is there any way to make intervals.icu trainings working on suunto as good as from TP?

Thanks for your great work!
I will do some more work on this on Friday. One thing I am concerned about re the “next step” notification is what if you are doing short intervals (e.g. 30/30s)? Then the time to display the text might cause trouble.
They say next step notification goes away in few seconds so shouldn’t be a problem… anyway i asked local community how they feel this feature.
Also I noticed one issue (maybe I’m doing something wrong) : having segment defined as: “6m Ramp 60-80% HR” (115-154bmp) suunto is showing target of 134bm for all of 6 min, which is just average of min & max. Can I do something to make target value ramping up in time as it’s defined? Or you think it wasn’t implemented in sunnto watch software, as too complex?
Another improve would be to implement the “Next step” on “button press” like it is for Garmin. According to other claims it is possible in Suunto as for workouts defined in Training Peaks it works properly.
In the next few days I am curious about running with Stryd in particular, suunto uses it as a native data unlike garmin and it could be a great alternative
