Your garmin activity is using “Elev Corrections”. This will disregard the recorded elevation info and use map info instead. It basically looks at each lat/long pair and matches it to a measured elevation number. If you disable that, I’d bet you see the same elevation profile.
Additionally, you can open the original FIT file and looks at the elevation numbers to see the raw data. Golden Cheetah is good for this (import the file, click the edit tab). If the recorded elevation is below zero, your watch is to blame. Try the soapy water barometer-fix trick.
I’ve been using a Stryd footpod for a few weeks, first race with it last Sunday
Couple of good things so far:
Instant pace from it is far more stable than GPS+GLONASS, it’s now the default for all runsWhen I’m finding a section of a course hard but maintaining pace I’ll look at the power, if that’s higher than my target I’m almost certainly on a false flat of some sort
.
I’m not 100% certain what you mean, but the need for the IQ data field or IQ app is to be able to see power along with other running metrics. Before those came out, you had to 1) pair the Stryd with your watch as if it were a cycling powermeter, or 2) pair it as a footpod (or not at all) and record the power data using the internal memory for subsequent merging on Stryd’s Powercenter.

I thought you had run a phone app to collect data, i’m not 100% on how it all works and what programs support power for running.
So if i connect it as a power meter on a 910xt does the power data come up on a run upload for Strava ? same as it would for cycling ?
I was a fairly early adopter of power for cycling (wired power tap) and this is an interesting product, i’m just not 100% sure on what I’d do with the data and most coaches aren’t into running power yet, I’m sure it will take off though.

There is a phone app, but it is required only to 1) configure/update the Stryd, 2) download data from its internal memory, and 3) calculate power when running on a treadmill at non-zero grade.
I don’t know specifically about the earlier 910XT or Strava, but in general the ecosystem is evolving quickly to where things behave as people are used to with respect to cycling data. (Even Zwift now supports running, although still unofficially.)

If you want to use a garmin watch, it at least has to support Connect-IQ Apps!
The 910XT does not, so you won’t be able to use the Stryd IQ App or Stry IQ Power Datafield.
But what might work is, that you put the 910XT into Cycling Mode and pair the Stryd as a Bike Powermeter!

Ok, thanks.
I will probably wait a while before jumping into running power anyway, I think eventually more coaches will start to get their heads around it just the same as cycling.
