Maybe there is a firmware update available, which you should install immediately.

Especially if these values are around a &#8220;mean value&#8221; at a relatively constant level. Thus, if there is such an average value, put that into the Stryd settings. Only if the weight deviates more than 2-3 kilograms up or down over weeks, I would change the settings.<\/p>\n<h2>Connecting with the Watch<\/h2>\n<p>Technically you could start running right now and the Stryd would record the training on its own. But of course we also want to see the power values on the watch. Depending on the manufacturer, slightly different steps are necessary. In any case, the Stryd must be connected to the watch as a footpod. Detailed instructions for all compatible watches are available directly from the manufacturer (<a href=\"https:\/\/support.stryd.com\/hc\/en-us\/categories\/360001374593-Using-Stryd-with-Garmin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Garmin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/support.stryd.com\/hc\/en-us\/categories\/360001378253-Using-Stryd-with-Polar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Polar<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/support.stryd.com\/hc\/en-us\/categories\/360001372414-Using-Stryd-with-Suunto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Suunto<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/support.stryd.com\/hc\/en-us\/categories\/360001378273-Using-Stryd-with-Apple-Watch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Apple Watch<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>I think the combination of Stryd and Garmin is particularly good, so this is my first choice. But you will have to consider some specialities here. It is not enough to just use the Stryd as a running sensor. In addition, the Connect IQ data field &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.garmin.com\/en-US\/apps\/18fb2cf0-1a4b-430d-ad66-988c847421f4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Stryd Zones<\/a>&#8221; must be installed and also used (!) on one of the displays of the watch.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-16971 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_17.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_17.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_17-770x385.jpg 770w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_17-675x338.jpg 675w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_17-383x192.jpg 383w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_17-860x430.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>This means that really all metrics of the Stryd are transmitted to the watch and stored in the Garmin FIT file. So you get a complete record of all data ( watch + Stryd ) in one file. With Polar and Suunto only the power is recorded, while metrics like Leg Spring Stiffness can be integrated later.  <\/p>\n<h2>First Run<\/h2>\n<h2>Mounting<\/h2>\n<p>Once everything is set up, you can go on the first run. Of course the Stryd Footpod has to be attached to the shoe. A short video shows how to do this correctly:<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Ry74UT7vlmI\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Although this may seem like a simple step, there are a few points to consider. Basically, you have to choose a foot and should then stay on that side. Also the position on the shoe should be as consistent as possible. This means not sometimes at the top and sometimes at the bottom of the lacing. With some shoe models not all positions are possible, so I chose the middle of the lacing. That works almost always.<\/p>\n<p>When fastening, the &#8220;broad end&#8221; must be pushed into the clamp first. In the past there have been problems with broken holding lugs (front) and loss of the Stryd while running (!). This should not happen with the correct procedure. With the Stryd Wind V3 you also have to make sure that the laces do not obstruct the airway in the clamp.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-16971 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_05.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_05-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_05-383x215.jpg 383w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_05-860x484.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_01.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_01-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_01-383x215.jpg 383w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_01-860x484.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_10.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_10.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_10-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_10-383x215.jpg 383w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/laufblog_laufen_laufzubehoer_stryd-wind-v3_10-860x484.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Still feel like running? ;) Let&#8217;s go! The first few runs are all about getting familiar with the new metric. Just watch how the power values change uphill or downhill. Even very slight inclines, which you normally don&#8217;t notice, can make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>I think it is important not to skip this phase. We all know a lot about heart rate and pace by now and know, for example, that the pulse is always lagging. But the power display is new and has its own laws, so to speak. It makes sense to get familiar with it before you really want to train by power.<\/p>\n<h2>Sync<\/h2>\n<p>You also get a feeling for the power values if you look at the recording of the run afterwards. For this purpose, the data has to be transferred to the desired platform &#8211; as complete as possible. And that is not that easy sometimes&#8230; But once you have set up your synchronization correctly, it works quite well.<\/p>\n<h2>Garmin<\/h2>\n<p>The easiest way is to run with a (compatible) Garmin watch. All metrics are recorded by the Connect IQ datafield then and be synchronized to all other plattforms. This is first of all Garmin Connect as a manufacturer portal. And that&#8217;s not too bad in this context, because without further ado, not only power but also the other Stryd metrics are shown.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/running_blog_stryd-tutorial-first-steps_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16926\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But it does make sense to also synchronize to Stryd Powercenter.

However, Stryd has a solution for this in the Powercenter.<\/p>\n<p>First you set up (just like with Garmin) an import of Polar or Suunto in the Powercenter.

Initially, the platform was only a supplement to the portals of the manufacturers, but is more and more turning into a serious analysis platform. Especially the section on the <a href=\"\/en\/the-new-stryd-powercenter\/#power-duration-curve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Power Duration Curve<\/a> is worth studying more closely, because here lie the real values of the site.<\/p>\n<h2>Critical Power<\/h2>\n<p>One of the things that makes the Stryd Footpod so interesting is the determination of critical power from training. This is (to put it simple) the power at your anaerobic threshold. It&#8217;s an important parameter from which training zones and competition predictions can be made. Basically there are two ways to get to this value:<\/p>\n<h3>Auto-Calculated<\/h3>\n<p>The best way to determine the CP is automatic calculation. The basis for this are the training sessions of the last 90 days and their maximum power values over certain time periods. There is a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.stryd.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360037556133-How-does-Stryd-s-Auto-Calculated-Critical-Power-work-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">long support article at Stryd<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Three runs are basically enough for the calculation, one of which must be longer than 50 minutes. So if you switch on the automatic calculation, you could already get a value for the Critical Power after three training units. But this value should be used with caution&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The calculation model must be fed with maximum values in order to provide a reliable result. Three slow runs are therefore not enough. On the other hand, a race over 5 or 10 kilometres would already provide very good data &#8211; as long as it was done &#8220;all out&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In other words: during the last 90 days you should have reached your performance limit for 1 minute, over 20 minutes and over one hour, so that the calculation of the critical power has an optimal basis.<\/p>\n<h3>Critical Power Test<\/h3>\n<p>Wer bereits von Anfang an mit einer brauchbaren Critical Power arbeiten will, kann auch einen <a href=\"https:\/\/support.stryd.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/115003989074-How-do-I-perform-a-critical-power-test-and-get-my-critical-power-and-zones-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Critical Power Test<\/a> machen und die Ergebnisse in die App eintragen. Dazu l\u00e4uft man zum Beispiel einmal drei und einmal 9 Minuten all-out. Nat\u00fcrlich mit dem Stryd, denn anschlie\u00dfend braucht man die durchschnittlichen Watt-Werte dieser beiden L\u00e4ufe.<\/p>\n<p>Das kann dann einen guten Anfangswert bringen, bevor man auf die automatische Berechnung umschaltet. Es macht aber auch Sinn, diesen Test alle 2-3 Monate im Training zu wiederholen. Denn auch die automatische Kalkulation wird diese L\u00e4ufe ber\u00fccksichtigen und wahrscheinlich die CP daraufhin aktualisieren.<\/p>\n<h2>Finetuning<\/h2>\n<h2>Stryd als Quelle f\u00fcr Pace und Distanz<\/h2>\n<p>Es w\u00e4re deutlich zu kurz gegriffen, den Stryd &#8220;nur&#8221; f\u00fcr die Powermessung zu verwenden. F\u00fcr mich liegt ein gro\u00dfer Vorteil auch in der M\u00f6glichkeit, eine GPS-unabh\u00e4ngige Quelle f\u00fcr Pace und Distanz zu haben. Meine Erfahrungen damit sind sehr gut (ich laufe seit zwei Jahren nicht mehr mit GPS-Pace), allerdings muss man sich ein wenig k\u00fcmmern, um gute Ergebnisse zu bekommen.<\/p>\n<h3>Auto-Kalibrierung: aus<\/h3>\n<p>Bei Garmin, Polar und Suunto ist nach dem Hinzuf\u00fcgen als Laufsensor die Auto-Kalibrierung aktiviert. Die Uhren vergleichen also selbstst\u00e4ndig die vom Footpod \u00fcbermittelte Distanz mit der per GPS ermittelten und errechnen daraus den passenden Faktor. Dieses Verhalten ist vom Stryd-Hersteller ausdr\u00fccklich nicht erw\u00fcnscht, daher sollte man die Auto-Kalibrierung deaktivieren und den Faktor auf &#8220;100.0&#8221; stellen.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-7' class='gallery galleryid-16971 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/running_blog_stryd-tutorial-first-steps_09.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/running_blog_stryd-tutorial-first-steps_09.png 550w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/running_blog_stryd-tutorial-first-steps_09-383x279.png 383w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Mit meinem ersten Stryd-Footpod mit ich mit dieser Einstellung gut zurecht gekommen. Auf vermessenen Strecke hatte ich immer nur minimale Abweichungen. Trotzdem kann es vorkommen, dass man manuell eingreifen muss &#8211; so wie ich beim neuen <a href=\"\/stryd-wind-v3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stryd Wind<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Pace (und Distanz)<\/h3>\n<p>Je nach Uhrenmodell ist es dann m\u00f6glich, Pace oder Distanz bzw. sogar Pace und Distanz des Stryd zu verwendet. Die Uhr zeichnet dann weiterhin den GPS-Track eurer Lauftrecke auf, die Anzeigen zu Geschwindigkeit und Entfernung stammen aber eben vom Stryd. Das macht sich immer dann positiv bemerkbar, wenn der GPS-Empfang schlecht ist: im Wald, in Schluchten oder in St\u00e4dten mit hohen Geb\u00e4uden. Dazu kommt noch, dass die Pace-Werte deutlich schneller aktualisiert werden, was auch bei kurzen, schnellen Intervallen zu brauchbaren Anzeigen f\u00fchrt.<\/p>\n<h3>Kalibrierungsfaktor ermitteln<\/h3>\n<p>Auch daf\u00fcr hat Stryd nat\u00fcrlich eine <a href=\"https:\/\/support.stryd.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/115004337834-Distance-and-Calibration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Anleitung in der Support-Datenbank<\/a>. Man soll auf einer 400-Meter-Bahn auf der inneren Markierung der Bahn 2 laufen. Die sollte exakt 406 Meter lang sein. Nach zum Beispiel f\u00fcnf Runden kommen also 2,03 Kilometer zusammen. Hat man die Uhr mit dem Stryd bereits so eingestellt, dass die Distanz vom Stryd kommt und der Kalibrierungsfaktor auf 100 steht, kann man aus der gemessenen Abweichung einen neuen Faktor ermitteln: <\/p>\n<p><code>(Vermessene Distanz der Strecke) \/ (vom Stryd gemessene Strecke)<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Beispiel: Du bist f\u00fcnf Runden auf der Innenmarkierung von Bahn 2 gelaufen, die Uhr zeigt aber nicht 2,03 Kilometer an, sondern 1,95 Kilometer. Dann w\u00e4re der neue Faktor 1.04.<\/p>\n<p>Allerdings ist dabei zu beachten, dass der Faktor geschwindigkeitsabh\u00e4ngig ist. L\u00e4uft man die Runden mit einer 6er-Pace kommt also ein leicht anderer Faktor heraus, als wenn man mit einem 5er-Schnitt unterwegs ist. Letztendlich ist es einfach so, dass 100%ige Genauigkeit nicht zu erreichen ist. Daher ist mein Ansatz etwas praxisn\u00e4her:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strava<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ehrlich gesagt ist Strava nicht gerade bekannt daf\u00fcr, besonders exakt mit den \u00fcbermittelten Daten umzugehen. Die dort angezeigte GPS-Distanz kann durchaus von der GPS-Distanz der aufzeichnenden Laufuhr abweichen, weil Strava den Track selbst nochmal nachrechnet. Mein Weg ist also keine &#8220;pr\u00e4zise Wissenschaft&#8221;, sondern eher die &#8220;einfache L\u00f6sung&#8221;. ;) Daf\u00fcr muss man auch nicht um einen Sportplatz laufen, sondern kann es bequem am Rechner erledigen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/running_blog_stryd-tutorial-first-steps_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1048\" height=\"397\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/running_blog_stryd-tutorial-first-steps_03.jpg 1048w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/running_blog_stryd-tutorial-first-steps_03-770x292.jpg 770w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/running_blog_stryd-tutorial-first-steps_03-383x145.jpg 383w, https:\/\/harlerunner.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/running_blog_stryd-tutorial-first-steps_03-860x326.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1048px) 100vw, 1048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Habt ihr schon mal auf das Wort &#8220;Distanz&#8221; unter den Angaben zu eurem Lauf geklickt?

Es entspricht also einem Faktor von &#8220;1.003&#8221;.

Um den zu ermitteln, hatte ich mir eine kleine Excel-Tabelle gebastelt. Dazu sind sicher nicht so viele Werte notwendig, wie ich ermittelt habe.

Garmin hat lange Zeit nur auf den Funkstandard ANT+ gesetzt, bietet jetzt bei den h\u00f6herpreisigen Modellen alternativ auch Bluetooth f\u00fcr die Verbindung zum Beispiel zum Stryd an. So ist der Stryd f\u00fcr meine <a href=\"\/garmin-forerunner-945-im-ausfuehrlichen-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Garmin Forerunner 945<\/a> insgesamt als drei Ger\u00e4te erkennbar: als &#8220;Stryd&#8221;-Laufsensor (Bluetooth), als Laufsensor &#8220;48457&#8221; (ANT+) und als Leistungssensor &#8220;48457&#8221; (ANT+).<\/p>\n<p>Grunds\u00e4tzlich sollte nur eine Verbindung (als Laufsensor) hergestellt werden.
