The Stryd ecosystem is an end-to-end solution (from Planning through Reviewing) that works with running power. It provides the majority of the important power metrics and access to coaches and training plans.
Stryd Zones is a datafield you can add to ‘run’ profiles on a Garmin watch. The Stryd Workout app is an app you can use on Apple Watches, Garmin watches and on mobile phones. Both display power (and other) metrics from the Stryd footpod, and (depending on the watch/app combination) support guided workout execution.
Stryd Zones uses workout information downloaded to Garmin watches via Garmin connect.
The Stryd Workout app communicates directly with Stryd PowerCenter to download the next few days of workouts.
Power
Both apps offer real-time, smoothed, lap and workout power.
Stryd Zones can display power as Watts, Watts/kg, or percentage of threshold power.
Guided Workouts
Both apps provide a guided workout experience.
Older Garmin watches may not support guided workouts (due to Connect IQ limitations).
Upload
On Garmin watches, Stryd Zones and the Stryd Workout app save power (and other) metrics in Garmin workout files that are then uploaded to and available (for onward sync) in Garmin Connect.
On Apple Watches and mobile phones, the Stryd Workout app communicates directly with Stryd PowerCenter to upload completed workouts.
