The graph below shows a hill repeat where I took it easy on the way up, and then pushed the pace hard on the way down. You can see that during the downhill section, my heart rate has risen a little, but the estimated power output has dropped massively. You can see my pace a little more accurately on the lower chart that uses the Stryd data, and my pace is hitting 6:30 min/mile. This matches up with my overall experience of Stryd, which consistently underestimates my exercise intensity for downhill sections of my run. This is a little limiting, as it means I come to use Stryd to pace myself when running downhill. I’m reasonably confident that Stryd will update their model to improve this, but it is currently a noteworthy shortcoming.<gallery widths=300px heights=300px>File:StrydEasyUpHardDown.jpg|Easy up the hill, and high intensity fast downhill running.
