6. Done! You will want to add as many details to as many runs as possible to receive the best insights.
Rate of Perceived Effort and Feel
In the Post Run Report, you will be asked about your Perceived Effort and how you feel.
Perceived Effort is on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the easiest and 10 is the hardest.
How you feel can be reported as Great, Good, Normal, Poor, and Terrible.
Tracking these inputs can help you determine if your training is working as expected. These data points can be viewed in the Analysis tab of the Stryd app for a birds-eye view of progress.
Pain & Discomfort Tracking:
The Pain & Discomfort Tracking interface lets you log pain that you may experience during training. Here is how you can log Pain & Discomfort.
Overall Pain Intensity: Rate the general level of discomfort you felt during or after your run.
Specific Body Areas: Log pain or discomfort in targeted spots, including the Achilles, ankle, calf, foot, hamstring, hip, knee, plantar, quadriceps, and shins—on both the left and right sides.
This data pairs with Stryd Footpath, giving you a window into how pain might be influencing your running form and performance. With this feature, you can:
Catch small issues before they turn into big problems.
Adjust your training or recovery based on real, actionable feedback.
Share detailed insights with coaches or healthcare pros to tackle potential injuries head-on.
Shoes
Depending on the workout, you may use different shoes. This is where you can associate a specific run with a specific pair of shoes. The Stryd app will log a shoe’s mileage and then notify you when the shoe reaches its maximum mileage limit.
Tagging a specific run’s shoe in the Post Run Report is valuable information for foot-path analysis. The shoe specifics can also be valuable when using the Analytics tab in the Stryd app.
Surface Type
Tagging your run with the 'surface type' is useful for tracking how much time you spend training on a given surface. Stryd can currently not detect the surface you are running on and adjust power readings accordingly.
This information is valuable when applied in the Analytics tab in the Stryd app.
Run Type Easy and Workout
Filling out the Run Type in the Post Run Report is a very valuable tag for the Analytics tab as well as other insights.
