Starting today, Polar users can automatically sync their structured workouts and training plans from TrainingPeaks, a go-to app for coaches and endurance athletes of all levels, bringing a new level of convenience to athletes and coaches using both platforms. This integration enables automatic synchronisation of planned, phased workouts from TrainingPeaks to Polar Flow, which then delivers these workouts to compatible Polar sports watches.
By connecting their Polar Flow and TrainingPeaks accounts, users can ensure that workouts—whether prescribed by their coach or created by themselves on the TrainingPeaks platform— are immediately available on their Polar sports watch. During training sessions, the watch provides real-time guidance through each workout phase, helping them target specific heart rate zones, maintain optimal speed, or hit prescribed power targets.
“While Polar devices have long offered the ability to create phased workouts, this integration elevates the experience by connecting directly with TrainingPeaks—a platform that has become indispensable for athletes at all levels and coaches worldwide,” said Joonas Rajaniemi, Business Director of Services at Polar. “By improving our TrainingPeaks and Polar Flow integration, we’re enhancing the user experience and making it effortless to transfer data and workouts across platforms. With this connectivity, athletes will easily receive upcoming workouts on their Polar devices, allowing them to concentrate on what truly matters—optimising performance and achieving their training goals.”
This new feature, launching initially as a beta release, empowers Polar Flow users to access and import the extensive library of hundreds of specialised workouts and comprehensive training plans available within TrainingPeaks. For athletes working with more than five training zones, the integration intelligently maps these expanded zones into Polar’s five-zone training system—preserving workout intent while maintaining the familiar Polar training experience users have come to trust.
After each training session, workout data automatically synchronises back to TrainingPeaks, enabling coaches and athletes to conduct in-depth analysis, track progress against training goals, and make data-driven adjustments to future workout plans.
Availability
The TrainingPeaks integration is available across Polar’s entire current lineup of sports watches, ensuring all recent Polar users can take advantage of this enhanced functionality. The integration also extends backward compatibility to a large number of past models, including the performance-focused Polar Vantage V and the popular Polar M430. This makes the integration available to most Polar users.
All Polar users with a TrainingPeaks account—whether using the basic free tier or premium subscription—can import workouts directly into Polar Flow. While the core synchronisation features are accessible to everyone, certain advanced TrainingPeaks functionalities remain exclusive to TrainingPeaks Premium subscribers, providing additional value for those who choose to upgrade.
