STRYD Introduce AIR Power
Unfortunately you will not be able to use the power of the wind to power-up your run but instead, STRYD has introduced new metrics on the new STRYD pod that allows you to see the power you produced that was needed to overcome wind resistance. Combine that with the pre-existing FORM power and these are…

New Fitbit VErsa 2 Leak – WHEN N+1 is very very bad
Fitbit is about to release a new Versa. No…NOT the Versa light. that was VERY different…lighter, obviously. This time it’s the cleverly named Fitbit Versa 2. It’s like the Fitbit Versa 1 but with a different number on the end. As far as the leaks suggest there’s not much new here other than a…
New Xert Features
It’s no secret that I like Xert (pronounced EXERT). In a nutshell, it’s a novel way of looking at what power output you are capable of at any given instant; and that knowledge feeds through into many aspects of training from season planning, to workouts or to segment hunting.

So; you link your Ayvri account to your STRAVA account and then get a 3D playback of your ride. Kinda like a helicopter view of your ride with the relative…
STRAVA – pending new AWESOME feature appears to have closed competing sites #Discuss
A recent post by dcrainmaker (here) showed how STRAVA had effectively cut off access to relive.cc for the strava API. I covered it a little as well at the time (here).
