4. PREPARE FOR TRAINING
Plan Your Training
You can utilize the ready-made Polar Endurance Program for running or cycling, or create your own phased
training sessions in polarpersonaltrainer.com. Transfer them to the training computer by using the
DataLink and WebSync software. For more information, see polarpersonaltrainer.com Help.
Sport Profiles
The Polar RCX3 training computer provides four sport profiles; one for running, two for cycling and one for
other sports.
Adjust the settings for the sport profiles to suit your training needs in MENU > Settings > Sport profiles.
You can, for example, activate the sensors you want to use in the sport. Then when you start a training
session using the sport profile, the training computer detects the needed sensors automatically
When you activate an optional sensor ( s3+ stride sensor, G5/G3 GPS sensor, CS speed sensor W.I.N.D. or
CS cadence sensor W.I.N.D.) for the first time, it needs to be paired with the training computer. For more
information on the sport profile settings and pairing a sensor with the training computer, see Sport Profile
Settings (page 28) and Using a New Accessory (page 38).
Polar Endurance Training Program
Polar Endurance training programs for running and cycling are available for you to create and download in
polarpersonaltrainer.com.
You will get a personalized training program for your fitness level. The fitness level will either be
calculated from your previous training history in polarpersonaltrainer.com or you will be asked to fill in a
short questionnaire which will help to define your current fitness level.
Endurance training program guides you to train in the correct and effective way, and it defines the training
volume, training intensity and training schedule for optimal fitness improvement. Each training session
will consist of warm-up, work and cool down phases.
The training program works together with the Polar ZoneOptimizer feature, which means that the training
program sessions are modified according to your personalized sport zones. For more information, see Polar
ZoneOptimizer (page 41)
For more information on Endurance programs, see polarpersonaltrainer.com Help.
Calibrate the Polar s3+ Stride Sensor
Polar s3+ stride sensor can be set on only for the Running sport profile.
Calibration of the stride sensor improves the accuracy of speed/pace and distance measurements. It is
recommended that you calibrate the stride sensor before using it for the first time, if there are significant
changes in your running style, or if the position of the stride sensor on the shoe is dramatically changed
(e.g. if you have new shoes or if you switch the sensor from your right shoe to your left one). You can
calibrate the stride sensor by running a known accurate distance, or by setting the calibration factor
manually. The calibration should be done at the speed you normally run. If you run at different speeds,
the calibration should be done at your average speed.
Calibration by Running Wizard
Before calibration the stride sensor needs to be paired with the training computer. For more information on pairing
the stride sensor and training computer, see Using a New Accessory (page 38).
Make sure the stride sensor function in the training computer is on. Press UP to enter MENU and select
Settings > Sport profiles > Running> Stride sensor > On.
