The Urban Sports Issue

The Street X Edition

The city keeps us moving: commutes, detours, walks, runs, rides, and everyday movement. Look a little closer, and the city reveals itself as a place to train, explore, improve, and live actively. Stairs become intervals. Park benches turn into workout stations. Familiar streets become new routes.

This edition of Polar Journal dives into the world of urban training. We explore the science behind city-based movement, the rise of unsanctioned running, and disciplines like parkour that turn streets into playgrounds. And we introduce Polar Street X, the latest addition to our sports watch lineup—designed for everyone who trains, moves, and lives in the city.
