New Stryd Mobile App Update | Tag Your Runs for Performance, Injury, and Shoe Tracking

Today, we’re thrilled to unveil an exciting update to the Stryd mobile app: a revamped Run Tagging interface that makes tracking your performance, injury risk, and shoe usage simpler and more powerful than ever.

In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the new features, explain how easy and user-friendly the interface is, and show you how these tools can transform your running routine. Let’s dive in!

Effort Tracking: Understand How You Perform and Feel

The updated Stryd mobile app introduces a fresh, easy-to-use interface for logging your effort and how you feel after every run. Here’s what’s new:

• Effort Scale (1-10): After each run, rate the intensity of your effort on a scale from "Very Easy" (1) to "All Out" (10). Whether it was a relaxed jog or a full-on sprint, this tag captures how hard you pushed.
• Feel Scale (Terrible to Great): Reflect on your physical and mental state post-run with a simple scale ranging from "Terrible" to "Great." This quick check-in helps you track how your body and mind respond to your training.

Why To Tag Your Effort

These tags give your runs a descriptive snapshot, making it easy to look back and see how you felt during and after each session. Over time, you’ll:

• Spot trends in your energy levels and recovery.
• Fine-tune your training based on how your effort aligns with your goals.
• Build a clearer picture of your progress with minimal effort.

It’s a simple yet effective way to stay connected to your running experience and make smarter training decisions.

Pain & Discomfort Tracking:

The new Pain & Discomfort Tracking interface lets you log pain with pinpoint accuracy, helping you stay ahead when recovering. Here’s how it works:

• Overall Pain Intensity: Rate the general level of discomfort you felt during or after your run.
• Specific Body Areas: Log pain or discomfort in targeted spots, including the Achilles, ankle, calf, foot, hamstring, hip, knee, plantar, quadriceps, and shins—on both the left and right sides.

Why To Tag Pain & Discomfort

This data pairs perfectly with Stryd Footpath, giving you a window into how pain might be influencing your running form and performance. With this feature, you can:

• Catch small issues before they turn into big problems.
• Adjust your training or recovery based on real, actionable feedback.
• Share detailed insights with coaches or healthcare pros to tackle potential injuries head-on.

It’s like having a personal early-warning system to keep you running strong and healthy.

Shoe Tracking: Maximize Performance and Longevity

Your shoes play a huge role in your running success, and the updated app now lets you track them like never before. Here’s what you can do:

• Tag Your Shoes: From rugged trail kicks to speedy race-day flats, assign the pair you wore to each run.
• Set Mileage Alerts: Avoid wearing out your shoes by setting custom mileage limits—get a heads-up when it’s time to check or replace them.
• Track Performance: See which shoes were on your feet for your fastest or strongest runs.
• Monitor Footpath Trends: With Stryd Duo + Stryd Footpath, analyze how different shoes affect your running mechanics.
• Filter Runs by Shoe: Quickly review past runs based on the shoes you wore, making it easy to spot patterns or preferences.

Why To Tag Your Shoes:

Shoe tracking takes the guesswork out of gear management. You’ll:

• Prevent overuse injuries by retiring shoes at the right time.
• Learn which pairs boost your performance for specific workouts or races.
• Make informed choices when it’s time to buy your next pair.

With this feature, your shoes become a key part of your training strategy, not just something you lace up.

Other Tags: Customize Your Data

The new Run Tagging interface doesn’t stop there—it also gives you flexible options to personalize your data even further:

• Surface Tags: Log the terrain you ran on, with options like Road, Trail, Track, Grass, Sand, Snow, and Treadmill. This lets you see how different surfaces impact your pace, effort, or form.
• Custom Tags: Want to track something unique? Add your own tags to categorize your runs your way.
