  1. Go out and do your sport

All future activities will be synchronized from Polar to RUNALYZE. There is a slight delay of up to half an hour during synchronization.

Other options

There is a software called bipolar which can download the activites from Polar FlowSync, PolarV800 or Polar Loop and there is another software called V800 Downloader on Github which does nearly the same.

Full history import

Polar does not offer an option which allows us to get historical activities via their API. But you can request your data backup (see instruction) and import the training session json files directly at Runalyze. <iframe src="https://embed.fleeq.io/l/5ry7h8itqy-lsnmhvat69" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" style="width:400px; height: 300px;"></iframe>

FAQ

Are steps, weight data and co also transmitted?

Not in the moment. As soon as we have refactored the health section in RUNALYZE the data will be synchronized too.

The sync does not work

Only new activities after you connected your Polar Flow account will be synced.

In case it still does not work disconnect your Polar Flow account on RUNALYZE and also disconnect the RUNALYZE connection on the Polar Flow website
