Thank you. I just ordered your Stryd pod, looking forward to it! Question: How can I sync this Intro program with my Coros Apex Pro watch? How can I see the Stryde structured workouts in general on my Coros watch? Thx a lot

[@Stryd]

Great question, Miguel. You will need to use COROS workout builder to create the workouts on your watch. Here is more information: support.stryd.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500003301822-Import-and-Execute-Structured-Workouts-with-COROS

Loving my Stryd thus far! I did the intro plan for a few days but switched to a marathon plan since I was training for one when I received the Stryd. I have a 5K on my 4th day into the plan and had a significant jump in CP. with the training plan it seems I’m getting a good mix of training intensity’s. Just wondering how accurate my CP is? I’ve hit the intended paces and it seems much easier to manage compared to pace and HR. Hoping I can maintain that predicted power for my upcoming marathon it would be awesome. It seems to be a well balanced plan! Thank you

[@Stryd]

Great question, and welcome to running with power! We have found that a time trial between 5km and 10km gives a great base for a fairly accurate CP, but we suggest adding in some shorter higher intensity efforts like hill sprints and some longer sustained runs to make sure you have a balance.

[@foreveryoung1678]

I don’t have any specific race goal at this point in time. Is there a plan that will help me build up my CP? I am looking for something like 16 week FTP builder popular on zwift and other power training platforms.

[@Stryd]

Great suggestion!

[@jamesgourley5573]

Hi Just a quick question Since power can be related to weight etc How often should you change your weight if your constantly losing weight? Thanks

[@MiltiadisChi]

If there is a posibility for asmetrical running , can i use 2 strydes to find it or to fix it?

[@WinningInters]

I’m a new runner and am interested in buying stryd to help me keep to a sensible level of training, however this intro plan looks like running for 7 days straight without a rest? I would need a run on day 1, rest on day 2, run day 3 plan. Will the intro plan allow this or is stryd for more advanced runners only??

[@SR-kk3pl]

Hey team - is there anyway to sync Stryd calendar into my iOS calendar app?

[@Stryd]

Good question! Currently this is not possible, but we can talk to our team about it!

[@JamieMakesFitnessFun]

I'm in the middle of a half marathon training plan & the Stryd intro plan is significantly less than I'm currently running. Am I able to do extra than what the plan suggests each day over the two weeks or will this maybe effect my CP calculations.

[@Stryd]

Yes! The important parts are the goal target efforts to help calibrate your Stryd Auto-CP. You can maintain your normal running schedule and volume in the other optional days!

[@stuartmutch9562]

Does it make any difference if I choose to just follow my coach's plan, which will have at least 2 speed sessions in a week?

[@sschwen8050]

For those of us who already use Stryd is there a way to “reset” our auto CP so we can get a new value based on this intro plan?

[@daleleslie6851]

You can, the info for that is here support.stryd.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037963293-How-can-I-reset-my-automatic-critical-power-

[@anamorphosci9185]

Hi there :) thank you for a great video ! It really convinced me to try and buy the Stryd :). I’d have 2 questions : - when you’re sayin "Day 1", "Day 2"... does that mean I have to do a workout every day of those 2 weeks ? Or those days are more like ‘sessions’ and can be done on more than 2 weeks ? - can those intro workouts be performed on trails with uphills, downhills, or do I have to run on relatively ‘flat’ roads, trails.... ? Thank you for those info !

[@Stryd]

Thank you for the questions! 1 - Each day pertains to a different "day" on the workout plan, but not each day has a required run. Each day will have a piece of information associated with it and some days have a required run to go along with the plan. 2 - These workouts can be performed in any conditions or surface! Running with Stryd and power can be translated to any conditions you run in.

@@Stryd ok thank you for this clear answer ! You convinced me to purchase it.... (maybe next month haha, it's all about the money :D). Really interesting device !
