Anyone Use Stryd Footpods for Running

Hello all,

Been looking into tracking running effort outdoors more accurately.

Wondering if anyone here uses stryd footpod. Seems to provide some interesting/useful data but at $300+ its pretty expensive.

Cheers

Do you already have a gps watch and looking for the extra data that a foot pod provides, or are you just looking to track your runs and haven't got any gear yet?

My garmin hr strap (the new ones) gives me a lot of extra data…ground contact time, L/R balance, vertical oscilation, stride length etc.

  got garmin watch + HRM strap. Think its great. HR is my go to metric to guide training intensity. Just curious about whether there are any Stryd users.

    You can get it much cheaper than this, but compare the features of this to the stryd:

    Or are you looking to run indoors on zwift or something?

      Thx.
      Got the hrm-pro.
      Actually had hrm-run but got it replaced under warranty and got sent the hrmpro.
      
      Just curious about stryd power metrics for training

        @gimli: Ah fair enough. I'm not sure if i can get that real time. I know strava calculates it for me after.
        
        Training with power is invaluable with my cycling.
