Connect Polar to Pelaris

Last updated

Connecting Polar lets your runs, rides, swims, and strength sessions flow into Pelaris automatically, so your coach sees the training you do outside the app and programs around it.

Connect

  1. Go to the Profile tab and find Connected Apps (also reachable from the plug icon in the top bar).
  2. Tap Connect Polar.
  3. Sign in to Polar Flow with your Polar account.
  4. Allow Pelaris to access your training data.

On iOS and Android, connect Polar once in a browser at coach.pelaris.io, and it syncs straight back to the app.

What syncs

Runs, rides, swims, and strength sessions recorded on a Polar device or the Polar Beat app, once they have synced through to Polar Flow. Pelaris imports sport, start time, duration, distance, average and maximum heart rate, and calories.

Where it shows

A synced Polar session completes the matching planned session for that day in Train, and Today shows it done. Unplanned sessions, ones Pelaris did not plan for you, are arriving as their own entry in Train in a coming update.

Disconnect

Open Connected Apps and disconnect Polar from its card. You can choose to also delete the imported data, or keep your training history as it stands. Either way, new sessions stop flowing.

No watch, no problem

You do not need a Polar watch to use this. Install Polar Beat, sign in with your Polar account, and record a session from your phone. It syncs to Polar Flow the same way a watch session does, and flows into Pelaris from there.

Frequently asked questions

What does Pelaris import from Polar?

Sport, start time, duration, distance, average and maximum heart rate, and calories, for sessions recorded after you connect.

Do I need a Polar watch?

No. The free Polar Beat app records a session on your phone and syncs it to Polar Flow the same way a watch does.

My session has not appeared. What should I do?

Check it has synced through to Polar Flow first, most sessions from Polar Flow arrive in Pelaris within minutes, and all within four hours. If it still has not shown up, contact us and we will look at your sync directly.

Can I bring sessions from before I connected?

Yes. Export them from Polar Flow as FIT files and import them. The steps are in Import FIT files from your watch, in the Pelaris help centre.
