Polar Devices and TrainingPeaks

Connect your Polar Flow and TrainingPeaks Accounts

The newer Polar devices utilise Polar Flow AutoSync through a one-time connection to transfer completed workout data directly into TrainingPeaks. To verify if your device is compatible, please consult this information from TrainingPeaks. 

• Sign in to your Polar Flow account. 
• Click on your name in the top right corner and select "Settings". 
• Click the "Connect" button located right next to TrainingPeaks (see screenshot below).
  

• Once you click "Connect", the "Allow access: TrainingPeaks" window will open. Then, log into your TrainingPeaks account on a laptop or desktop computer.
• Click "Allow" (see screenshot below).

Once you have completed the above steps, your browser will return to Polar Flow, and an "Account connected!" message will appear. Any future workouts recorded on your Polar device will now sync automatically to TrainingPeaks.

Historical Workout Data

Any historical training data you have previously saved in Polar Flow can also be transferred into TrainingPeaks via Polar Flow's Export function. Please refer to this information from Polar on how to transfer this data.

Exporting Structured Workouts to Polar Devices

You cannot export the structured running and cycling workouts in your training plan to your Polar Watch. We hope that TrainingPeaks and Polar will make this possible soon. You can still follow your workouts using the Workout Description and record the activity with your Polar device. Once you've completed a workout, it will automatically upload to TrainingPeaks. Alternatively, you can manually recreate the Polar Flow workout and export it to your device.

Setting up your Training Zones on your Polar Device

Once you've completed your Fitness Test(s) and determined your five Training Zones, it is important to ensure that the Training Zones on your Polar device are consistent. You can alter your zones using Polar's Flow web service. To do this: 

• Log in to the Flow web service. 
• Click on your name in the upper right-hand corner. 
• Select "Sport Profiles" and the specific sport profile you wish to edit. 
• Your Training Zones can be updated under the "Speed/Pace Settings."  
• After editing your zones, sync them to your training device via Polar FlowSync.
