I’m not a triathlete (by no means), but as an occasional multi-sport person (cycling, running, hiking, skiing, swimming…) I am very glad to see this. Hopefully the first step of many beyond cycling.

Just saw the news!!! Sweet! I need 10 engineers on my programs, too.

Hey…If it pays solidly above 6 figures and can be remote…maybe?

Whoo. Imagine Season PR’s - even TP doesn’t really have that.

Awesome! Thanks Nate

Season PR’s is something I really want them to do.
My biggest annoyance with TP year PR’s is my season goes over New Years so I get a bunch of PR’s all through Jan

That’s great, thanks.

Is there any thought being put into updating the running in the tri plans?
I have a Stryd pod so I run with watts, like on the bike. Like TR Stryd will auto calculate your FTP/CP or you can test for it. I would love to follow Chad’s workouts but in power/watts or at the very least in terms of pace (e.g. 5mins at 10km effort).

At the moment we are training (via the tri plans) basing our training on perceived effort, can you imagine doing all bike workouts on perceived effort and not power targets?

Very cool! Training for Du Nats and I’d love to get tighter incorporation of my run training and bricks with my bike work. Looking forward to the release!

First happy birthday :cake:

I think part of the problem in the past, as other people have said, is TR over hyping new functionality, without acknowledging the limitations or narrow use cases that the v1 product solves.

Being in a software company, I know how critical it is to set user expectations, especially for v1 products. To date, this has really been TR’s Achilles heal: over selling v1. I think this comes from a good place - enthusiasm, and knowing what you want to do in the future - but you need to sell the product you have. If you objectively go back and listen to the podcast announcing FatP prediction, you will hear this same problem: it’s awesome, with very little mention of its limitations/ use cases it solves / cases or athlete characteristics it isn’t currently good for. In addition, I don’t know why it gives a single number, without showing the range / confidence interval. This implies a level of precision that the current v1 doesn’t have, and opens up people being unhappy or finding out that the single, predicted FTP is off for them and then writing the whole thing off.

We will have that in this block of work!

I use this, works very well.

RPE2-4 → Stryd zone 1
RPE6 → Stryd zone 2
RPE8 → Stryd zone 3
RPE9 → Stryd zone 4
RPE10 → Stryd zone 5

The description of the workout (mostly) tells you what the matching zone is anyway. If it says you have to do VO2max intervals…you run the intervals in the VO2max power zone. If it’s 20 mins threshold…etc.

This is way easier than running with pace, because the Stryd zones automatically update with your CP, so you don’t need to recalculate via pace tables and what not.

Based on our survey data interest in Stryd support is low.

We’re going to still show power on the graph so you can see it, but prioritizing power based running workouts via Stryd is low.

Like some of us have mentioned, more a case of people not knowing what they don’t know. Bike power meters at first had slow adoption because they were so expensive or you had to build a specific wheel for it. As long as we can analyze the power data similar to any other outdoor workout, that would be a good start. A stryd is cheaper than a bike single sided pm, but there aren’t many users discussing the advantages.

Hmm, where can I find this survey? I’m another +1 for power based running and I use a stryd.

Too busy winning :wink: I hadn’t noticed this before, but take a good peek (and listen) to this segment:

Love seeing what those guys are doing. I personally don’t have a stryd, but just waiting to really get a good enough reason to do it. Just been working on trying to keep most of my efforts more steady through varying terrain.

I think Stryd support is a must. I’ve been using Stryd longer than I have a bike power meter.

Can I ask whether you plan to use an automatic FTP calculation based on a power curve (or something similar) or would you sync the FTP directly from Stryd? I’m not sure if the latter is possible.
