Polar has introduced TrainingPeaks integration with its Polar Flow web service. Polar athletes can now automatically sync their data with TrainingPeaks and access Polar training sessions from their TrainingPeaks account.
TrainingPeaks and Polar Flow automatic syncing capabilities are available for a variety of Polar connected products including the Polar V800 multi-sport watch, Polar M400 GPS running watch and the Polar M450 and Polar V650 cycling computers.
“Polar offers several training solutions that runners, cyclists and triathletes trust and rely on during their training,” said Marco Suvilaakso, Global Product Director at Polar. “Using Polar Flow, athletes can plan, gain insight into, and receive feedback on their training. Integrating with TrainingPeaks allows us to extend these services even further by offering yet another opportunity for athletes to use their training data to improve performance and meet their goals.”
“This seamless integration allows the most convenient data transfer from Polar devices to TrainingPeaks,” added Dirk Friel, Co-Founder and President of TrainingPeaks. “Our mission is to help athletes and coaches achieve their goals and we are excited to help Polar users take their training to the next level.”
To get started, Polar users log into their Polar Flow web account, go to settings, locate the new TrainingPeaks link and connect their Flow account with TrainingPeaks. TrainingPeaks will open automatically, and once logged into their account, users can authorize the connection. Users can also transfer existing training sessions that are saved in Polar Flow using the manual export function in Flow.
The Polar Flow app and web service provide an in-depth analysis of daily, weekly and monthly activity. The company adds that the Polar Flow web service also offers a window into a person’s fitness and training diary, which helps athletes follow their progress in a modern visual style.
As the pioneers of scientific training and terms including Training Stress Score (TSS), Normalized Power, Intensity Factor and more, TrainingPeaks allows coaches and athletes access to an efficient and effective way to make sense of data in order ‘to perform the right training at the right time in order to reach their goals.’
