{{DISPLAYTITLE:Stryd footpod review}}
Stryd is one of the most useful and impressive running technologies available. It's a [[Footpod]] that analyzes the movement of your foot with greater accuracy than most traditional Footpods. While a lot of the Stryd marketing focuses on their "running power meter" functionality, I see the greatest value coming from their accurate measurement of pace and distance. If you look at my [[GPS Accuracy| testing of GPS Accuracy]], you will see that Stryd gives a far more accurate measurement of distance than any GPS watch. It accurate enough that it really doesn't need any calibration, and unlike GPS, it should work in any situation. Not only is it providing accurate distance measurement, but it provides real-time pace, something that's impractical to achieve with any GPS device. While I believe [[Running Power Meters]] are quite different to cycling power meters and are more of a "power estimate" than a meter, I think that if you understand their limitations they can still be useful. At $200 I think that Stryd is good value for money, and it's one of the few running devices that I would replace unhesitatingly if I lost it. (Note that you need to have access to an iOS or Android device to setup Stryd.)
