Planning your training in the Polar Flow web service

You can plan your training and create personal training targets for yourself in the Polar Flow web service or in the Polar Flow app. Note that the training targets need to be synced to your M200 with Flowsync or via Flow app before you can use them, and your M200 shows only your planned training sessions for the current day. Your M200 will guide you towards completing your target during training.

  • Quick Target: Choose a duration or calorie target for the training. You can, for example, choose to burn 500 kcal, run 10 km or swim for 30 minutes.
  • Phased Target: You can split your training session into phases and set a different duration and intensity for each of them. This one is for e.g. creating an interval training session, and adding proper warm-up and cool-down phases to it.
  • Favorites: You can use your Favorites as scheduled targets on your M200 or as templates for training targets.
