10. NEW ACCESSOR Y Pairing a New Sensor with the T raining Computer Before taking a new sensor into use, it has to be introduced to the training computer . This is called pairing and only takes a few seconds. Pairing ensures that your training computer receives signals from your sensor only , and enables disturbance-free training in a group.
8. T o return to time mode, press and hold the BACK button. Pairing a New Cadence Sensor with the T raining Computer Make sure the cadence sensor has been correctly installed. For more information on installing the cadence sensor refer to the user manual of the cadence sensor or to the video tutorial at http://www .
Calibration by Running Wizard Before calibration the stride sensor needs to be paired with the training computer . For more information on pairing the stride sensor and training computer , see New Accessory (page 38 ) . Make sure the stride sensor function in the training computer is on.
1. In time mode press ST AR T and select Running as your sport profile. Press ST AR T again and start running. 2. At the starting point of a known lap distance, press ST AR T (minimum calibration distance is 400 meters / 0.3 miles). When you have run the whole lap distance, press ST AR T .
11. POLAR SMART COACHING Polar Sport Zones Polar sport zones introduce a new level of effectiveness in heart rate-based training. T raining is divided into five sport zones based on percentages of maximum heart rate. With sport zones, you can easily select and monitor training intensities.
If your goal is to compete at top potential, you will have to train in heart rate zones 4 and 5 . In these zones, you exercise anaerobically in intervals of up to 10 minutes. The shorter the interval, the higher the intensity . Sufficient recovery between intervals is very important.
(page 42 ). The ZoneOptimizer measurement takes your personal information, including your heart rate variability , into account and personalizes your sport zones before every training session.
Maximum Heart Rate Maximum heart rate (HR max ) is the highest number of heartbeats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. It is individual and depends on age, hereditary factors, and fitness level. It may also vary according to the type of sport performed.
A good way of improving stride length is to undertake specific strength work, like running hills, running in soft sand, or running up steps. A six-week training period including strength work should r.
