Olympic Cross-Country Skier
Cross-country skiing can be a hard sport to measure. I’ve always relied on my Polar to help me train in the right zone and track my progress. I love the myriad of features I can use to analyze my workouts and always get extra satisfaction to see the visual representation of my workouts when uploaded into Polar Flow.
