The new Polar RCX5
RUN comes with S3+ stride sensor, RCX5 training computer, Wearlink+
hybrid transmitter, DataLink data transfer unit and the following are
some of its running specific features: Features: Speed/pace and distance
Speed (km/h or mi/h) is measured with GPS, footpod, stride sensor or
cycling speed sensor.Pace Features in Polar RCX5
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. Cadence - Running cadence measures how many times your
either right or left foot hits the ground in one minute.
Running cadence Features in Polar RCX5
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.
Stride Length Features in Polar RCX5
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.
Running index Features in Polar RCX5
Running Index - Running Index is based on run 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. Race Pace helps you control your speed to reach your target
