The Garmin leak is further down in the post, I will just quickly put this in context first. I speculated a while back that Garmin were due to release ANT+/BLE-enabled sensors. My speculation was that there would be a HRM and a new footpod. It wouldn’t then be too much of a leap to expect…
This is one of those ‘YAY days’. I tried something a bit techy & convoluted and it all worked out. What I tried to do It was my first run for a while to check out my Achilles (mostly OK, thank you for asking). Also with RunScribe Plus now going LIVE with their “Sensor Fusion”…
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…
Garmin’s Running Power app today just crossed over the 8000 downloads. That’s a lot of people running with power. Downloads have more than doubled from 3445 on 18th December. But that’s still behind STRYD (>10,000) despite Christmas and despite Garmin Running Power being free. I’m not so sure of the quality of the power data…

It seems that 3,445 of you were indeed very curious about Garmin’s Running Power (GRP) app. Stats from Garmin Conenct IQ store show 3445 downloads as of 18Dec2017 ie about 10…
This time I look at the effects of WEIGHT and HEIGHT on the Garmin Running Power numbers. Does it take weight into account as it claims? In an attempt to partly fill my own curiosity I have looked at some of the inputs to Garmin’s Running power algorithm over the last week or so. These…
Garmin have just released a new app, “Garmin Running Power”…let’s call it GRP for short. This post will provide a bit of background but then specifically discuss the pros and cons of GRP compared to the competitor products STRYD and RunScribe (there are others but I wouldn’t consider them yet if I were you). Why…
I quite like the Garmin Running Power app. It installs well, is nicely configurable and seems to run awesomely in all its bug free glory. But is it showing complete garbage? I had a little play on Sunday, comparing Garmin Running Power (GRP) with RunScribe and STRYD. Here are the thoughts and results of that…
