Pretty lame of them. Maybe less people are buying the whole running with power thing so they are now selling distance accuracy. They do quote fellrnr in the "what runners are saying..." section. Hopefully they talked to them, but even so, don't even throw a link to the research? That would only strengthen their claim.
I thought my Garmin 920 had better GPS then the "upgraded" 935 and fellrnr's research confirms this.

It is unethical. And the formatting decision to put two blank lines between each sentence in that "newsletter" is pretty horrid too.

Oh yeah... Wow. Way to double down on that mistake. Would have been easy to say oh sorry! and add a credit.

im completely unimpressed with my stryd. the power fluctuates so badly its not even a usable metric, and their marketing is questionable at best.

As far as not giving proper attribution, that does seem pretty shaky.

I'm using stryd 4 months ago, but I really did not find it useful for my training.
the power does not vary is stable, but it is too stable, it varies very little for the changes of rhythm, wind seems to me that it does not take that parameter then it is complicated a little.
the data is on screen in my spartan, but I look at it, I keep using the rhythm to train.
I really have not found the use yet.

I've had some great results with the Stryd pod. It's consistent outdoors and indoors. And it'll tell you when a treadmill is lying, like the one I have at home. Anyway, few PRs and for the first time ever in a triathlon, I negative split the run at Challenge Daytona. I've pretty much figured out what my power is for each distance and then run to that #. It helps slow me down going up hill and then to pick it up when running flat or downhill.

Not surprised given the folks i've had interactions with over there. They aren't interested in being right, they are only interested in pushing "their way".

The Stryd has proved itself accurate in a variety of tests, comparisons, and environments. So, maybe something is wrong with yours, or your feel is off.

I find my Stryd also very accurate. Sorry you feel slighted
Re: Come on Stryd... [Herbert]

I find mine very accurate as well. Most accurate way to track speed and distance inside. I'm still not sure how it is going to make me better. Was really hoping it would take me from 9 min miles to 7 min miles....not so far.

I think Ventum and Stryd must have the same BS marketing company. They both come off as dirty and underhanded in their efforts to reach out to athletes and sell their "bike 29 minutes" faster products. When the marketing claims are unethical, why would anyone trust the products despite some famous sports scientists involved in the effort?
I've also noticed the pace seems off when using my stryd on a treadmill. I never look at the numbers on the treadmill itself, but stryd will tell me i'm running 10-11min/mi when jogging at an easy pace. Comparatively I actually find it difficult to run that slow outdoors on roads, where an easy pace for me would be 8:30-9min/mi.
