@atoponce before update :

intervals set in the directely in the watch were only available in sport modes that had a interval screen

guides (structured workouts) created in app and sync to watch were available in any sport mode (native or not, having interval screen or no)

Since update interval screen is needed in sport mode in both case

Well it’s seems that if structured workout session has a date set, interval screen may not be needed. To be confirmed, not tested myself yet

=> just checked : indeed it works ! If you set the date for your structured workout (and if it’s the day), you can use you structured workout session in any sport mode even if it doesn’t has an interval screen set.

Hello,I had the Suunto Vertical 1 and the Stryd 5, sold the V1 because there were problems, bought the Race 2, and now I’m experiencing the same problems you describe. I’ve done everything that corresponds to your tests and got the same result. During calibration, I keep getting asked to enter my pedal distance, when i select the Stryd pod

Yes, this is true and known. And once you decline the answer if you want to use it, you still cannot enable the guide later…

@atoponce I guess init time? I assume it might take a few till stryds considers something a run? Not very sure. Or are you using the app ?

What you could do:

get both fit files.

use https://quantified-self.io/ ( use promo SuuntoForumWelcome20First if you want pro or free will do)

upload the 2 fit files. (one from stryd one from SA)

Select the 2 activities. Press > < buttions to merge them

open the activity (the merge). Select show all data, select probably the time axis and select the distance data chart. You will plot basically the 2 distances over the abs time. Then maybe you can find why , which one started faster / slower?

Well I guess I missed something.
But just checked again : I started an exercice after refusing to use my training session. Then started another exercice : the session is still proposed.

I also tested to created two guides scheduled today. Only one (the first created ?) is proposed at start of exercice

Correct. I mean, If you decline the guide and then try to add it in the options of that same activity without starting a new one -> not possible.

@Egika ok got it. But as I see it usefull to use on exercices where I don’t have interval screen set, I could not select it anyway in options for now.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
I haven’t had much time for proper testing so sorry for information which aren’t so detailed.

1/ I re-paired the pod and tested exactly the setup you suggested — and in this case, it did work as expected.
It’s very possible that some of my previous tests were flawed, so I want to apologize for any misinformation and thank you for your patience and help. That part is on me.

2/ That said, there is still a real issue I can consistently observe.
Please have a look at this activity from yesterday: I had Stryd connected, everything set up correctly, yet power was clearly not taken from the pod.

https://quantified-self.io/user/EqrKRGu7FvcCJIvp9DW3lDyVB3Y2/event/rYCU1nlJSo26nPXBJjoC

This seems to match what I occasionally experience in practice:
• Stryd appears connected and active
• But during the activity, power (and sometimes other data) is not sourced from the pod
• Re-pairing before the run often fixes it, which suggests a connection or data-source fallback issue

So while the intended behavior works in some cases, there still seems to be an intermittent reliability problem, especially across sessions.

Happy to help with further testing or provide additional examples if needed.
Thanks again for looking into this — much appreciated.

@Zdeněk-Hruška I put a mark to check this. Thank you

@Christoph-Van-Laethem hi, please contact Stryd support. It has been fixed by their update

atoponce

Hmm. Here’s the 5k race that alerted me to this issue. Interesting Suunto had a significantly higher elevation estimation than Stryd.
