Summary

The next generation of Stryd's running power meter is here, and it can now account for the differences in running power required depending on air resistance, wind, and drafting. Evan Schwartz from Stryd joins us to discuss the new device and the implications of wind on running with power. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -How much additional power do you need to produce in various wind conditions compared to a still day? -How much power can you save when drafting another runner? -How much power is required just to move through still air? In other words, what's the difference between running outdoors and on a treadmill? -Is Stryd catching on with elite runners and coaches? -What's next on Stryd's roadmap?

0:00.0	I looked down at my watch.
0:01.2	I was running 300 watts up this hill at a very even effort, even pace up to the same grade.
0:08.2	Then all of a sudden, when this big gust of wind shot in my face for about five seconds, my power spiked to 380.
0:17.1	That trip home Show, 197.
0:39.2	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of that triathlon show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com. I'm your host, Michael, and on today's episode, I interview
0:45.2	Evan Schwartz from Stride, the running power meter company, and we discuss their next-generation
0:52.6	new and updated Stride foot pod, which you just clip to your shoelaces,
0:59.6	and then it will measure your running power.
1:02.5	And previous generations have taken things like hills and elevation into account.
1:07.6	However, this new next generation device is equipped with a whole lot of new sensors
1:12.9	and new firmware, which enables it to take wind and air resistance into account as well,
1:19.0	which is really, really exciting. So we'll discuss this new device, but also just in general
1:25.0	running with and into the wind, how big an effect that has on the
1:30.3	demands of running how much more power do you have to produce when you're turning from a
1:35.1	tailwind into headwind and all these sorts of things which is really fascinating and i was
1:40.6	actually quite surprised to hear how big the difference difference can be in the power that is required.
1:46.8	Given that in comparison to cycling, the speeds when we are running are so much lower,
1:51.7	which means that there isn't as big an impact of air resistance and wind as there is when cycling.
1:57.4	But still, the impact is very significant.
2:00.1	And that's what surprised me the magnitude of
2:03.2	the impact that that can have but before we get into the interview a big thanks to our sponsors first we
2:10.3	have precision hydration and as i mentioned a couple of episodes ago one of the books that i've been
