Sebastian Kienle

IRONMAN World Champion

I've been doing the sport for more than 20 years now and Polar has been a partner from the very beginning. When I was younger it was a very valuable tool to get to know my body better and understand what I need to do to get better. Now it‘s a great tool for pacing, esp. the wrist-based Running Power is great. But also to track your recovery, after the new update the Vantage V delivers good data via HRV tracking over night.

Three time world champion, other than that, pretty average. I think I made it because I can have a nap every day and tell everybody it‘s important for recovery.
