  5. 05

    Learn

    A report on every session, tied to the exact minute it's talking about. If something's off, your plan changes.

Every session makes the next plan better.

A full, unscripted onboarding session: goals, races and availability in, a season on the calendar out. Exactly what your first hour with Stride looks like.

Stride feels pleasantly different. As well as structured workouts, it also provides useful insight into outdoor rides - the matches feature and wind data are 2 examples I’ve not seen on other platforms. I’ve also noticed that the FTP detection feels refreshingly realistic, and with the AI I can quickly build sessions for the time available and training status. It feels like the next evolution of training tech is here!

I don’t have much time during the week to train efficiently, but with Stride and the AI trainer, I’ve been able to make it work. I get efficient, productive workouts based on my level and on what I want to achieve within a specific time frame. That feeling of just wandering through random, unorganized workouts or plans is completely gone.
Rafael AlbornozCyclist and Coffee Aficionado
I love the AI plan adjustment feature. It’s the first app that really lets me adapt my training when life changes, without losing progress or that FOMO feeling. Together with the instant sync, it makes my life much easier and lets me train seriously next to a full time job.

Stride makes training practical, personalised and directly applicable to my training schedule for my Traka debut. Im looking forward to tackling the hills above Girona even more now.

It dispels all the smoke and mirrors you find elsewhere."

I stumbled across Stride by chance , the results have been great, time is scarce for me and to have a plan that is time crunched is great
DavidZwifter, UK
I love using Stride as my personal coach. Being able to create both gym and riding sessions so quickly using the AI tools is brilliant — it saves time and keeps my training focused. The app syncs seamlessly with Zwift, and I really appreciate being able to give feedback to Alex directly and to the creators as they continue improving the platform. The variety of training plans is excellent too, from time‑crunched options to quick base builders. Stride has become an essential part of my training routine.

Team EF Coaching chose Stride

Team EF Coaching Foundations

When Team EF Coaching wanted to put the philosophy behind EF Pro Cycling in the hands of everyday riders, they built it on Stride. Bolt Foundations onto your existing plan for their workout library, their training approach, and coaching content you won’t find anywhere else.

Stride gives coaches the full picture of every athlete on their roster.

Most tools own part of your training. Stride owns the loop.
