Body measurement features
• Automatic age-based target zone - bpm / % / % HRR

  To help you train safely and effectively, the training computer determines your heart rate target zone limits automatically according to your age-based maximum heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute (bpm), as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate, or as a heart rate reserve (% HRR). See also Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and Manual target zone.

• Average and maximum heart rate of each lap
• Average, minimum and maximum heart rate of training
• Heart rate – bpm / % / % HRR

  Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute or as percentage of your maximum heart rate. Heart rate can also be expressed as a percentage of your heart rate reserve, meaning the difference between your resting heart rate and maximum heart rate (HRR = HRmax - HRrest). In Polar software or during strength training, heart rate can be displayed as a graphical trend.

By setting a target pace, you can follow how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined time.

• SpeedPointer

  SpeedPointer feature tells you your speed within set speed limits.

• Combined training files

  This feature allows combining consecutive training sessions. When you start a new training session within an hour of the previous one, you can combine the new session with the previous one.

• Memory left indication
• R-R Recording

  R-R recording rate saves heartbeat intervals, that is, intervals between successive heartbeats. This information is also shown as instantaneous heart rate in beats per minute in recorded samples. This enables the analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) using the ProTrainer 5 software with an accuracy of 1 ms.

• Totals

  Totals includes your training data starting from the last reset enabling you to follow your long-term training.

• Training files (with summaries) – 99
• Weekly history

  Weekly history gathers your weekly training data. By selecting a week, you can review your training data for the week.

• Average stride length

  Stride length is the average length of one step, that is, the distance between your right and left foot contacting the ground. Runners adjust stride length to gather speed: stride length increases as speed increases. Yet one of the most common mistakes novice runners make is over-striding. The most efficient stride length is the natural one – the one that feels most comfortable.

• Cadence – current, average and maximum

  Your cycling cadence stands for your pedaling rate in revolutions per minute (rpm). Cadence is the central factor in improving cycling performance. A higher cadence reduces the force needed for each pedal stroke, and thus improves overall performance. Running cadence measures how many times your either right or left foot hits the ground in one minute. Running cadence is measured as steps per minute. With this feature you can sharpen your cadence and make your ground contact time shorter. This will help you to find a balance between leg power and leg speed.

• Distance – training, lap, trip and total

  Distance (km, mi) can be set and measured in several ways. Training distance tells you the distance traveled during a training session. Trip distance tells you the distance from the latest trip reset. Lap distance tells you the distance of one lap. Total distance is the distance accumulated since the last reset. Odometer tells you the cumulative distance which you cannot reset.

• Running Index

  Running Index is based on heart rate and speed data measured during the run. It gives daily information about your performance level, both aerobic fitness and running economy. Improvement in running efficiency indicates improved economy of running performance.

• Shoe selection – settings for three shoes

  Shoe selection feature allows you to select shoes for a particular sensor in your training computer and to follow your training distance for the particular pair of shoes.

• Speed/Pace – current, average and maximum

  Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or cycling speed sensor. Pace (expressed as min/km or min/mile) stands for the rate of speed. Pace is usually used in running. By setting a target pace, you can follow how fast you need to run in order to reach a certain distance in a predefined time.

• Speed/Pace-based target zones with visual and audible alarm

  You can define your target zones for a training session based on speed. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.

• Automatic lap recording

  With this feature you can set your training computer to take laps based on preset distance, for example, every 1 km/mi.

• Display zoom

  Display zoom feature allows you to zoom in information on the display during training.

• Graphical target zone indicator

  This feature points out graphically on the display the zone you are in during a training session helping you to stay on the desired intensity zone.

• Interval trainer guided workouts – heart rate / pace / distance

  Create interval guided workouts based on time, heart rate, speed/pace or distance guidance with up to three linked timers or distances and up to three target zones.

• Number of laps – 99
• Time and distance based interval timers

  Use timers, for example, as a training tool in interval training to tell you when to switch from a harder to a lighter period and vice versa. The timers can be time- or distance- based.

• User configurable displays – all lines

  This feature allows you to configure training computer displays to show the information that you need during your training session. Configure the displays either in the training computer or in ProTrainer 5 software.

• ZoneLock

  ZoneLock feature helps you to accumulate certain intensity. You can either lock a zone before a training session or during it by pressing a button when you are on the desired zone.

• ZonePointer

  ZonePointer is a visible and moving symbol on the training computer display indicating whether you are inside the pre-set target zone. This feature helps you to reach the desired intensity/pace/speed/cadence targets.

• Backlight
• Date and weekday indicator
• Display text in English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian
• Dual time zone
• KeyLock

  By activating KeyLock, training computer buttons are locked, and accidental presses do not cause problems, for instance, during training.

• Low battery indicator
• Reminders

  You can set reminders to alarm you of different tasks or training sessions, for instance, reminding you to drink during a training session.

• Time of day (12/24h) with alarm and snooze
• Training reminder
• User replaceable battery
• Water resistant – 50m
