German Speedskating Record Holder 3K, 5K, 10K
I have used Polar products since many years back and I am very satisfied. The products have developed year by year and they are very important for my training. At the moment I use the Polar Vantage V in combination with the Polar Flow App. The App allows me to check my results directly after the training and shows me if I was in the right zones. That makes it much easier for me to control my daily training.
