MY POLAR
Eilish McColgan

“I’m very focused on what distance I’m covering and what pace I’m doing but, for me, heart rate has been really important as well, because I track my heart rate on all my runs. I have all the data on the Polar Flow app so I can look back to what has worked and what hasn’t worked over the years. I need to make sure that I’m not pushing too hard, but equally, that I’m not just dilly dallying around, and that I’m getting enough of what I need to do within the week.
