Polar Race Pace

Race pace feature helps you to keep a steady pace and achieve your target time for a set distance. Define
a target time for the distance, for example, 45 minutes for a 10 kilometer run.
During the training session the target pace/speed is compared with training information. You can follow up
on how far behind or ahead you are, compared to your pre-set target.
You can also check what is the required steady pace/speed in order to meet your set target.
Race Pace features and ZoneOptimizer can not be used in same training session. The ZoneOptimizer
definition is always done in the beginning of the training session, before the actual work phase starts. It is
then very difficult to start the race pace measurement in the right location.
How to Use Race Pace
Before starting to use Race Pace feature, make sure that you have enabled a speed sensor (CS Speed
W.I.N.D. sensor or the s3+ Stride sensor) for the sport profile you are going to use in your training session.
For more information, see Sport Profile Settings (page 27).
