Running power specialist Stryd has launched Stryd Membership – a subscription service that offers new Workout Builder & Workout Library features.
The Stryd Workout Builder & Workout Library enable users to customize their training. According to the company, this encompasses an intuitive new interface that ‘requires minimal steps to make a perfect next workout.’
When a user opens up the Workout Library tab in the Stryd mobile app, they are presented with 30+ pre-built workouts to choose from.
A number of these workouts are designed to help runners best determine their auto-calculated Critical Power. The Critical Power Calibration collection consists of five workouts tailored to maintain the accuracy of auto-calculated Critical Power.
The five workouts include: a 2 minutes very hard effort, 1 minute very hard effort, 20 minutes comfortably hard effort plus 30 seconds all-out, 5 minutes hard effort, and a 5k time trial. All of these workouts are customizable with the Workout Builder in order to suit individual needs.
Classic Workouts are a collection of workouts that will put fitness to the test and can be a way to add a special challenge to any training week.
The Workout Library contains a wide array of pre-built workouts. Spanning from intervals to easy runs to long runs, users have the options to construct their own training plan or make a few tweaks to their running routine.
All workouts come with targets based on Critical Power and a short description to describe the purpose of the workout.
A new level of personalization can also be added to run training – as runners can make edits to their training calendar and then send that updated workout to a compatible sports watch for guided execution in real time.
Users can also create their own workouts from scratch using the Workout Builder.
All of this functionality is available via the Stryd mobile app (Version 7 of the Stryd iOS app & Version 8 of the Stryd Android app) when users have the Stryd Membership – priced at an introductory US$9.99 / £8.99 per month.
Both the Stryd Android app and Stryd iOS app will be able to create, edit and select workouts in the Workout Library and then send those workouts directly to a compatible watch (Stryd Workout App for Garmin Connect IQ 3.0+ watches & Stryd app on Apple Watch).
