It’s tricky to say whether STRYD or Garmin Running Power (CIQ app) are the leading running power meter solution at the moment. Sure, the free Garmin Running Power app has more single downloads but how many people then really go on to use it in training? Sure, STRYD has more total downloads of all its…
The STRYD CIQ app on the Garmin site is now up to 11,200 downloads. Maybe not all of those people have bought STRYD but there are certainly other STRYD users who partner it with the Apple Watch, Polar and Suunto devices. So let’s say they are up to 11,000 customers!! Cool. Sounds good. NB: I’ve…

Garmin’s recent Running Power app/data field threw a bit of a curve ball…it included WIND in the calculation. STRYD and RunScribe don’t do that. Well, at least not yet.

Late Summer 2017 seems to be about to deliver a few pleasant and, at least to me, interesting surprises on the endurance sports tech front.
