RUNNING POWER FROM THE WRIST

Running power is a great complement to heart rate monitoring – it helps you monitor the external load of your running.
Power responds to changes in intensity faster than your heart rate, which is why Running Power is a great guiding
metric in interval and hill sessions. You can also use it to maintain a steady effort level during your run, for example in a
race.
The calculation is done with Polar's proprietary algorithm, and it is based on your GPS and barometer data. Your weight
also affects the calculation, so make sure its up-to-date.

Running power and muscle load

Polar uses running power to calculate Muscle load, one parameter of
musculoskeletal stress, and Muscle load tells you how much your muscles and joints were strained during your training
session. It shows the amount of mechanical work (kJ) that you produced during your running sessions (and cycling
sessions if you're using a cycling power meter). Muscle load helps you quantify your training load in high-intensity
running training sessions, such as short intervals, sprints and hill sessions, when your heart rate doesn't have enough
time to react to the changes in the intensity.

How running power is shown on your watch

Running power is automatically calculated for your running sessions done with running type sport profiles with GPS
available.
Choose the power data you want to view during your sessions by customizing your training views in the Flow web
service sport profile settings.
