**Stryd learns what kind of runner you are and adapts to your ever improving fitness to prescribe run training that is personalized and specific to your skill set. You receive sweet spot run training guidance that will train you to improve your performance and continually build on those gains for weeks, months, and even years at a time.
Through a combination of advanced sensor technology and an automated training ecosystem, you will be given your personalized & optimal training routine, stride-by-stride guidance during every run, and in-depth insights that help all runners, from beginners to Olympic champions, regularly push their running performance to the next level.
How to start with Stryd:
New to Stryd? This app requires the Stryd pod in order to use the app.
Already have Stryd? You can sign in with your Stryd account, pair your pod, and get started with the app.
Perfect Pacing During Every Run:
Stryd accounts for your speed, slope, run form, fatigue, and wind to deliver perfect, precise, and painless pacing. This is accomplished with the Stryd pod. The pod is filled with motion & environmental sensors that comprehensively determine your running effort in nearly every running condition. With this info, you can evenly pace every run, which means you get the performance enhancing benefits from each training session — without undue fatigue.
Sweet Spot Training Every Day:
Stryd learns who you are as a runner and then prescribes daily training that is personalized to your current fitness. Next, you can import these workouts on your sportswatch and receive stride-by-stride guidance so you run at the right performance-enhancing intensity from start to finish. You stay in the training sweet spot, where you are perfectly balancing stress and rest, so that you receive the maximal benefits from each session and continue to improve.
Automated Insights That Keep You Improving:
Stryd analyzes and compares your similar training sessions against each other to let you know how your fitness is trending. You will know how much your recent training is paying off if you are moving in the right direction. If there is an opportunity to do better, you can quickly identify if you need to update your routine so you can keep the improvements coming.
Continually Beat Your Race Times:
Stryd plans your perfect race for you. Stryd can account for the unique layout of your race course, the weather, the altitude, your skillset, and your overall fitness to prescribe a race plan that will ensure you perform at your peak capability. You will step up to the starting line with confidence knowing that you will run your best race possible.

Note that, Stryd uses GPS in the background to track your running distance and pace, and continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life. Stryd also integrates with the Health app in order to get access to the heart rate data from Apple Watch.
Additionally, Stryd integrates with Apple Health. This allows Stryd to automatically update your weight, access your heart rate data, and save activity data to your Health app.
First of all the Stryd app has been 100% reliable on my phone and my watch since it arrived. The layout, customisation, and look of the app are of really high quality. Stryd gives you a fantastic snapshot of your running history and current capability which is perfect for the app. The run tagging allows you to organise runs and you can easily filter similar runs to compare them with ease. The trainer distance tracker is a welcome addition to. You can deep dive into data on Stryd Powercenter if you need analyse performances in greater detail. To improve the app I would add a couple of bits of functionality. Firstly if I was Stryd I’d integrate structured workouts into the app rather than relying on a third party integration. Whilst the functionality TrainingPeaks adds is very good and allows for complex workouts to be built which I’m grateful to have by the way, it’s cumbersome to have to log into another app and build a workout on the day of the run with their free account, only their paid accounts allow you to plan runs in advance. This adds unnecessary friction to going out for a run. When you get up at 6am to do a workout you just want to get on with it rather than have to open your laptop up to custom build your session.Secondly, I would like add an additional screen which has a pause / resume run button, as well as an end run button. Force touch is unreliable and sometimes just fails to work altogether in my experience, the only other way to end a run is to force quit the Stryd app which is a sub optimal to end a run.Since I’ve had my Stryd pod the company has regularly added features and improved the apps on both the phone and watch. It’s been getting better and better and long may that continue.
A whole new world

I have been running over a decade, but I’ve only started taking it a bit more seriously in the last couple of years. After training the conventional way, with HR and pace as main indicators, I decided to give Power Running a go and boy it’s a totally different level. The concept is rather simple, and Stryd delivers it in an amazing way. The plethora of data can be daunting at first, but the support is second to none and the Stryd community is brilliant. The training plans look awesome and I’m about to start the introduction to power, which I’m sure won’t disappoint. If you’re into running, at any level, I would say do not hesitate and get a Stryd!
Great Running Tech

I spent a lot of time following the Facebook group comments before jumping in to purchase. Part of the reason for doing so was the prospect of being able to try before you buy, referring to the imposition of costs later in 2021. I am so glad I did. I am following the Stryd directions, not trying to be over clever, still following the FB page and have to say loving it. Forget pace, forget heart rate all you need is Stryd and power. Worth every penny, and with Gus answering questions in depth and at every level of understanding you cannot go wrong. I’ve now moved to following the 5k high volume plan and am really enjoying balanced running.
The way to get Personal Bests!!
