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…
Curiosity killed the cat. But perhaps curiosity about a freebie running app for your high-end Garmin device might, instead, help you train more effectively?
