Can I manually enter a Critical Power?

You can set your Critical Power manually in the Stryd Mobile app (instructions below).

NOTE: Manually entering your Critical Power should be done cautiously. Threshold values from other running or biking power meters will not accurately reflect your ability when running with Stryd.

Alternative options for setting your Critical Power include: 

1. Use Stryd's Auto-Calculated Critical Power (How does Stryd's Auto Calculated Critical Power work?).

2. Manually set a Critical Power using either a Critical Power test result or enter a 5k or 10k race result (How can I calculate Critical Power manually using a test or race result?).
