Training Target With Speed Zones; During Training; After Training; Speed And Distance From The Wrist - Polar Electro Vantage M User Manual

If you choose Default, you cannot change the limits. The default zones are an example of speed/pace
zones for a person with a relatively high fitness level.
Free
If you choose Free, all limits can be changed. For example, if you have tested your actual thresholds,
such as anaerobic and aerobic thresholds, or upper and lower lactate thresholds, you can train with
zones based on your individual threshold speed or pace. We recommend that you set your anaerobic
threshold speed and pace as the minimum for zone 5. If you also use aerobic threshold, set that as the
minimum of zone 3.

TRAINING TARGET WITH SPEED ZONES

You can create training targets based on speed/pace zones. After synchronizing the targets via FlowSync,
you'll receive guidance from your training device during training.

DURING TRAINING

During your training you can view which zone you are currently training in and the time spent in each
zone.

AFTER TRAINING

In the training summary on your watch, you'll see an overview of the time spent in each speed zone.
After syncing, detailed visual speed zone information can be viewed in the Flow web service.

SPEED AND DISTANCE FROM THE WRIST

Your watch measures speed and distance from your wrist movements with a built-in accelerometer. This
feature comes in handy when running indoors or in places with limited GPS signals. For maximum accur-
acy make sure you've set your handedness and height correctly. Speed and distance from the wrist
works best when running at a pace that is natural and feels comfortable for you.
Wear your watch snugly on your wrist to avoid any shaking. To get consistent readings it should always
be worn on the same position on your wrist. Avoid wearing any other devices like watches, activity track-
ers or phone armbands on the same arm. In addition, do not hold anything in the same hand like a map
or a phone.
Speed and distance from the wrist is available in the following running type sports: Walking, Running, Jog-
ging, Road running, Trail running, Treadmill running, Track and field running and Ultra running. To see
speed and distance during a training session, make sure you have speed and distance added to the train-
