The newly improved STRYD IQ Data Field can be easily configured via Garmin Express (manage apps>click on the 3 dots) to allow: 3 second average power; 10 second average power; 30 second average power; Lap average power; and Overall average power

A nice improvement from STRYD.
- The same functionality needs to be introduced natively by Garmin ASAP
- I’m assuming you can’t display two of these data fields – I do that regularly when cycling. I personally, probably, wouldn’t do this when running, but others probably would. Perhaps there is some way to introduce a differently named but otherwise identical data field for that purpose?

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
- Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
- Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
- Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
- Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
- Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.
