STRYD Power Averaging

Better Pacing With Stryd

What is one of the major keys to training with Stryd? Consistency. It is important to keep a consistent power on race day to run your best race. You know what power you need to aim for on race day. The challenge is: how do I stick to this power throughout the whole race?

We have a new tool for your Garmin watch: Power Averaging. Power averaging lets you see your average power. This means you can focus on consistent power and pacing to keep that steady power you need to have your best race yet. The shorter averages are useful for minimizing your step-by-step variation while the longer averages are used to focus on your overall goal. You can choose between:

  • 3 second average power
  • 10 second average power
  • 30 second average power
  • Lap average power
  • Overall average power
