Feature releases, training methodology, and product updates from the Stride team — written for athletes and coaches.
TRAIN · LEARN · RACE
Stride has teamed up with Team EF Coaching, the group behind EF Pro Cycling, to launch Foundations: pro coaching principles and the Stride AI, built to work around your life.
Stride now reads every session you do, in incredible depth, and writes you back: plain-English reports on what mattered and what to do next. AI Insights is rolling out now.
No mountains nearby? You can still build the climbing fitness for Alpine cols. Here's how to train for long climbs when you live somewhere flat.
How to train for and pace La Marmotte — 174 km and 5,000 m over the Glandon, Galibier and Alpe d'Huez. Power targets per climb, fuelling, and how to save your legs.
Pace the Ironman 70.3 bike leg at about 75–80% of FTP (IF 0.75–0.80) so you can still run well off the bike. Here's how to do it on power, hills and wind.
Your FTP is measured fresh, but races are won deep into the ride. Durability is the fitness that holds when you're tired — and why fresh-legs FTP lies.
A plain-English glossary of the endurance training metrics that matter — FTP, Critical Power, W′, Normalized Power, IF, TSS, training load and aerobic decoupling.
The new Stride iOS app brings the power of our adaptive AI platform to your phone. Plan training blocks, check recovery, or tweak workouts—all from your pocket, whether at home or on the go.
FTP is one number on a good day. Critical Power and W′ model how you actually ride, minute by minute — here's why CP is the better basis for training.
W′ (W-prime) is your anaerobic 'battery' — the work you can do above Critical Power before you blow. Here's what it is, why it matters and how to use it.
We've rebuilt our power zone analysis from the ground up. Automatic zone detection, dynamic thresholds, and beautiful visualizations that help you train smarter.
From today, Stride can incorporate HRV and recovery‑related metrics from your Oura Ring and compatible Polar devices (such as Polar wearables that track HRV and night‑time recovery).
