NEW | Introducing Stryd Labs: Preview New Stryd Features Before They Launch
Stryd Labs is here, giving you early access to new Stryd features while they are still in development.
With Stryd Labs, you can be among the first to try what we're building, explore new ways to understand your running, and provide feedback that helps shape these features before their official release. As we continue developing new features, Stryd Labs will be your place to experience what’s next from Stryd and help shape where it goes.
And we're kicking off Stryd Labs with two new features you can try today:
- Form Profile — See your running form strengths and areas to improve with a spider chart built from your running data, then track how your form changes over time with Form Profile Trends, a history view that updates monthly so you can see your progress.
- New Critical Power History — Track how your Critical Power changes over time, understand what caused each change, and see the specific runs contributing to each update for a clearer picture of how your recent training is shaping your current fitness.
Let’s take a look at what’s waiting for you when you turn on Stryd Labs.
What Is Stryd Labs?
Stryd Labs is your early preview of what's next from Stryd.
You’re always in control of your Stryd Labs experience. You can opt in to try these features at any time, and if you prefer the standard Stryd experience, you can opt back out whenever you want.
Features in Stryd Labs may continue to evolve based on testing and feedback before their official release. That means what you see today may get even better as we learn how runners are using it.
Form Profile: Discover Your Running Form Strengths
Form Profile gives you a new way to understand the unique characteristics of how you run.
Your profile brings together five dimensions of your running form — Rhythm, Elastic Power, Landing Control, Shock Absorption, Forward Drive— and compares your results against runners like you.
At a glance, the spider chart highlights your strengths and shows where there may be opportunities to improve your speed, efficiency, and resilience.
Form Profile Trends gives you a history view of how your running form is changing over time, making it easier to see your progress across each metric.
The scores update weekly, each reflecting your running form from the two weeks leading up to it. Tap any metric to see a deeper explanation of what it measures and better understand your results.
New Critical Power History: Understand Why Your CP Changed
Critical Power is at the center of your Stryd experience, helping guide everything from your training zones and workouts to your race calculations.
The new Critical Power History gives you greater visibility into how your CP is changing and why.
Explore your CP over the past three months, see explanations for what caused an update, and view the specific runs contributing to those changes. When a new effort begins contributing to your CP — or an older effort stops contributing — you can see the run behind the change.
To explore your Critical Power History, head to the homepage in the Stryd mobile app and tap Critical Power. Scroll down to view your Critical Power History and see the runs contributing to it.
