Stryd generates a power number in Watts that you aim to try and keep roughly constant. This is where the Stryd footpod comes in.

But what happens when you’re going up hill or down hill? Or the terrain changes, and you’re running through mud or over moorland? You might try and run a 5k race at 7 minute miles say, and you’d use your watch to check your pace was on track. Typically runners measure their effort by feel, heart rate, or more commonly by pace from their running watch. The data is all fed in real time to your running watch or in my case Apple Watch. Stryd is a wearable running gadget that clips onto the shoe laces of one of your running shoes and measures your running power, as well as a number of other metrics.
