Stryd PowerRace - Your New Running PR

PowerRace - Your New PR

Performance is priority on race day, you'll test your body and mind against the course and the competition to find your new Personal Record.

The idea of discovering your new PR motivated us to create the supreme racing tool- PowerRace.

Your Personal Record considers three goals:

1. Get the most out of your body
2. Conquer the course
3. Focus on racing

Get the most out of your body

To race your best, extracting every ounce of energy from your body is key. It takes precision to know how to properly expend energy throughout a race. While you don't want to charge full-speed out of the box lest you risk expending your energy prior to the finish, you also don't want to be overly conservative and end up with leftover stores. Training and competing with PowerRace helps you set a target that you are forced to follow, enabling you to run at the proper intensity throughout the race.

Conquer the course

You will encounter unique challenges in each race that you need to overcome to find your Personal Record. Don't let a single uphill section fool you into thinking your time or pace is ruined. We removed time and pace from PowerRace to help you hone focus into power alone. Guided by this superior metric, you will get the results you work for.

Focus on racing

Dedicate all of your mental output to running instead of losing some to distractions like glancing at your watch or fiddling with your data screens. We programmed alerts into PowerRace to notify you when you fall out of the zone. These alerts let you know when there's something to check your watch to prevent you from checking it needlessly.
