VO2max value
Normally, you would have to go to a laboratory, stick a mask on, and run on a treadmill until you’re exhausted just to get your VO2max value - not any more.
Running Performance Test
HR Training Zones
Efficiency is key – target HR zones allow you to monitor the level of effort required for different intensities based on your heart’s beats per minute (bpm).
This is the hardest working muscle in your body. It’s the engine that keeps everything running when you run.
Polar Heart Rate Monitoring
Your heart never lies, so why should your heart rate monitor? Polar has been trusted by elite athletes for over 40 years – now it’s your turn. We will track your beats per minute with unrivaled accuracy.
Polar Precision Prime™ OHR Technology
10 LEDs across a range of wavelengths for deeper light penetration and 4 light detectors to pick up the light returning through your vessels – it’s more than accurate, this is precision.
Going the distance means adapting your pace depending on the different segments of a run based on the terrain you face, the effort required at any given moment, and the energy you’ll need to conserve if you want to get over the line – the right time, the right place, at the right pace.
Running Essentials
Pace, time, distance – plus a few other necessary functions to keep you running.
See your running speed.
See how long you’ve been running for.
See how far you’ve run.
Start/Stop any measure of running time.
Mark laps automatically or manually.
Timed periods of high and low intensity running.
Pace Calculator
You’ve probably spent some time trying to figure out what your running pace would need to be to finish your next 5K, 10K, or marathon in a particular time. Pace Me is a simple running pace calculator app which will show you predicted distance completion times for whatever running pace you select.
Running Power Zones
Wrist-based running power monitors the effort required for every segment of your run instantly – so you can adjust your intensity and finish strongly.
A good runner makes it look easy, but a great runner knows it wasn’t. Races aren’t won by crossing a line, they’re won long before that.
Training Load Pro™

Your individual VO2max can tell you how many millilitres of oxygen is being used by each kilogram of your body weight.
To put it simply, it tells you how fit you are and how efficient your heart is - helping you understand your future potential for aerobic endurance.
Since your muscles need oxygen to move, improving this value can make you healthier and boost your overall performance in sports.
A higher VO2max value can make workouts feel easier, lower your 5K (or Marathon) times significantly, and help you train longer without tiring. Basically, if you increase this value, you’ll become fitter, stronger, and perform better.
Walking Test is an uncomplicated test that you can perform regularly to estimate your aerobic fitness level based on your VO2max.
Walk at a brisk pace for 15 minutes along a flat route and the automatic calculation will factor in the distance you walk, your heart rate during the test, and your personal metrics: gender, age, height, and weight.
Run at the right level.
The Running Performance Test helps you personalize your heart rate, speed and power zones, so that you’ll always hit the optimal running pace.

Polar Precision Prime™ sensor fusion technology tracks your heart rate from the wrist. The innovation combines optical heart rate measurement with other sensor technologies to rule out motion artifacts that might disturb the heart rate signal and produce unreliable readings.
Learn more about Wrist-Based HR Measurement
After every run, you get a Running Index score based on the relationship between heart rate and speed. A single number to see your progress and compare to gender and age related aerobic fitness norms.
Because Running Index gives you an estimate of your maximal aerobic performance, it is a good predictor of your finish time for popular race distances, from 5k to marathon.

Plan your training sessions in advance with customized training targets and save them to your training diary. When it’s time to break a sweat, your device will guide you throughout your scheduled session, so you can fully focus on your workout.
You can create interval workouts with heart rate, speed, or power targets, or set simple training goals, such as ‘burn 700 kcal cycling’ or ‘run 30 minutes.’ Your device will alert you when you need to slow down or speed up to make sure your training goes as planned.
Learn more about Training Targets
Whereas heart rate measures your internal load as you run (cardio effort required), Running Power monitors your external work rate in watts as you run (mechanical output from your muscles).
This is an extremely useful tool for sprints and short intervals because it responds to intensity changes almost instantly.
Learn more about Running Power
Because Running Power responds quickly to intensity changes, has a high dynamic range, and takes into account changes in altitude, it’s perfect for interval training and running in hilly terrain.
By monitoring changes in your pace and altitude, you can use Running Power to maintain a steady level of effort during a steady-state workout in varying terrain, for example, running on a trail.

With route and elevation profiles you can see the terrain you covered during your training session in Polar Flow as a detailed summary – with calculated slope angles for every ascent and descent of the recorded session.
Hill Splitter™ automatically detects all uphills and downhills by using your GPS-based speed, distance, and barometric altitude data.
It shows you detailed insights into your performance, such as the distance you have traveled, the speed you covered it, and how much you climbed or descended on every detected hill during your session, automatically adapting to the terrain you are training on with every effort counted.
Recovery Pro™ works in sync with Training Load Pro™ to give you the full picture of your recovery, letting you know when your body is ready for more training, if you’re training at the right level, or if you should take it easier.
Instead of estimating, Recovery Pro™ actually measures your recovery by monitoring the balance between your training and recovery on a daily basis, and over the long-term.
You get feedback and suggestions that take into account training-induced stress, plus everyday stress outside of training, or bad sleep to provide you with personalized guidance to help you train the right way.
