Some Stryd questions

What's the easiest way to get clued up on what Stryd is and how to work with it? To be a little more specific what I'm thinking is how do I use it on a run with my f5, I've seen people mention a Stryd ciq app and a Stryd data field but I don't understand the difference. Also once you've captured the data from a run what do you do with it? I'm guessing it doesn't show on Connect and that the majority of people use TrainingPeaks. If that's the case do you need to pay for TrainingPeaks to get the most from it?
  • Please help how to setup calibration of footpod?

    I don't think it is possible anymore, at least in the IOS app. It used to be possible, when I got my Stryd.

    No the dropouts have still not been fixed with FW 3.30. This was my run this morning and you can see five occasions when connection has been lost. I've reported this to Garmin and all they come back and say is that as Stryd is a 3rd party device then it's not their problem and that Stryd no longer have the F5 or F5S on the compatibility list. Only the 5X works flawlessly at the moment (as long as other non F5 devices of course). I had one last try today but am now resigned to having to go back to the Garmin footpod for reliability.

    Just one comment: I've used my Stryd since December 2017, and I have zero connectivity issues with my F5.
    And for completeness' sake, I can confirm that it's been the solution for the GPS inaccuracy on both pace and distance, never mind all the other bells 'n whistles re real-time power etc.
