How to Connect Polar to 42Runs

Polar can connect straight to the 42Runs app. You sign in with your Polar account — there is no pairing service in between. This connection is separate from Garmin, Suunto, Coros, Amazfit, and Apple Watch.

This works on iPhone and Android. Open Settings → Connect Your Watch → Polar.

Connect

1. Open Settings → Connect Your Watch and choose Polar.
2. Tap Connect Polar.
3. Sign in to your Polar account and approve the connection.

When that finishes, the Polar row shows Connected. Do not also link Polar through the intervals.icu Connections page while you use this direct connection; that is a different Polar link and can bring in the same run twice.

What syncs

Completed Polar activities come back to 42Runs from this connection and are used for your training load, fitness, fatigue, and form. After you connect, 42Runs picks up the last 30 days that Polar makes available.

Polar cannot receive planned workouts from other apps, so a training plan from 42Runs does not appear on a Polar watch. You can follow the plan in the app, or send sessions to a watch that can receive them (Apple Watch, or Garmin, Suunto, Coros, or Amazfit through the pairing service).

Disconnecting

On Settings → Connect Your Watch → Polar, tap Disconnect. 42Runs stops receiving data from that Polar account. Your plans and history in 42Runs stay as they are.

Polar currently connects through the same free pairing service as Suunto, COROS and Amazfit. The steps are on how to connect through the pairing service.

Polar cannot receive planned workouts yet. Completed runs can come back once Polar Flow is linked. Other brands: pick your watch.
