New Features in PC Coach Version 4.4.2

Upload Speed Settings to Polar S625X

If you have the new Polar S625X Heart Rate Monitor / Speed & Distance Monitor, you will now be able to upload pace settings to the watch from the software. Now, you can set pace parameters in your watch, just like you've always been able to set heart rate parameters.

There are two ways to do this. One way is to upload a target pace with a tolerance (e.g., 7:00 min/mile with a tolerance of 15 seconds would upload thresholds of 6:45 - 7:15 min/mile.). The other way is to upload a high and low threshold (e.g., 6:45 - 7:15 min/mile). Either way, if you have your sound turned on, your watch will beep at you when you are outside of the set pace limits.

If you are not already familiar with the S625X - it's the first watch from Polar to give you speed and distace wile running (and on the bike). You can visit the Polar S625X page for more details.

End of Workout recovery data is now available

The second feature will benefit all PC Coach customers who are using one of the Polar infrared-downloading heart rate monitors. Version 4.4.2 now captures and displays your end-of-workout recovery data in the summary section of the Imported Data Graph (the downloaded graph of your workout).

This recovery data was already being captured in previous releases for owners of the Polar SonicLink downloading models. Now IR HRM users can collect this data as well.

Newest IR communication software

This new release also includes the newest IR communication software from Polar - which fixed some data downloading problems on the Polar S625X and S725.

If you already have PC Coach 4.0 or greater, visit our support page to upgrade.

Do you already own PC Coach 3.X or earlier? Upgrade to 4.4.2 for $25.

Polar Power Sensor

Now you can combine the benefits of training with heart rate and power. Power data is one of the most important pieces of cycling performance data.

With the power option (works with the Polar S725, S625X, or S720i) your power data will be downloaded from your heart rate monitor along with your heart rate data. This allows you to visualize the relationship between your heart rate and power. The power option also measures your left and right pedaling ratio and overall efficiency. Best of all, there are no wheel or hub changes needed, and the unit weighs just 225 grams. Read more about the Polar Power sensor here..
