POLAR RS800CX Run Heart Rate Monitor

For elite runners. For those who are seriously into their running, the RS800CX helps to plan, monitor and analyse every part of your training. Its range of personal training zones means you can train at the right intensity, and with advanced features, that come along with the s3 stride sensorTM W.I.N.D., you'll be able to track your progress with running index as well as stride length and running cadence.

Adapted for runners, this particular version of the RS800CX model includes the S3 Stride sensor W.I.N.D. feature, unique to this model. The main benefits from this feature include:

• Running Index that 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.
• 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 (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.
• 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.
