    I have been using Stryd since the start of March. My CP was calculated at 238 on 9th March and hasn't changed since despite having run 22 times since then. Is this normal? My zone 1 feels way too easy.

    Have you done a true maximal effort in the 15 minute+ range after several weeks of training, making sure you are fresh enough (eg aiming for modelled power for the chosen distance and trying to push it over a bit at the end if you can)?  If you have, perseverance with a good training plan is likely the answer! A taper to a race may help. Disclaimer: I am new to Stryd, loving it and haven't beaten my 5k and 10k times from 19 months ago recently, but I have nudged my CP up with a totally draining 5k aiming for modelled power for the appropriate time.

    I increased 10 points from 234 last month to 243 today. I did 15 mins tempo run. I think running with Stryd teaching your body the right balance on when to push it vs the recovery time. So far so good. I enjoyed it.
