Closer Look: New training plans & import from Final Surge, TrainingPeaks, and 2PEAK
Are you looking to make run training more effective and time efficient?
Stryd’s power-based plans have finally arrived to deliver optimal training guidance.
We have a full suite of plans to get you started with Stryd, prepare you for any race from 5K to Marathon, build your base fitness, and more!
These new offerings are not just any normal training plan. They are power-based. Structured training with Stryd’s running power is the perfect combination. With power, you can ensure that you are running in the zone that the plan wants you to run in so you extract the maximal benefits from every training session.
Let’s take a look at what is new!
Stryd’s 5k, 10k, Half Marathon, and Marathon Plans
When you are selecting one of Stryd’s plans, there are the first two questions we ask you:
1. What race distance are you training for?
2. When is your race?
This info drives our system to plan the perfect training season to lead up to your race.
The plan will evolve with you. Your power targets will increase as your fitness (Critical Power) increases so that the training is tailored to your fitness.
By the end of the plan, you will have the skills, the fitness, and be optimally tapered to have your best race performance.
Available Plan Options:
Marathon: high volume (6 days/week, 7 hrs/week on average) & low volume (4 days/week, 4 hrs/week on average)
Half Marathon: high volume (6 days/week, 6 hrs/week on average) & low volume (4 days/week, 3 hrs/week on average)
10k: high volume (6 days/week, 4 hrs/week on average) & low volume (4 days/week, 3 hrs/week on average)

At the end of this two week plan, Stryd will have the necessary data to help you quickly ramp up your training volume and intensity to the optimal levels.

Base Building Plan
With Stryd’s base training plans, you can methodically build your general running fitness before you pick your next race goal.

There are four base building options that can satisfy any runner’s needs:
high volume, high duration (7 days/week, 6 hrs/week on average)
