no worries. Just do this run first and I can use this data to match things up or see if the equation I have works.
only thing I see being the possible issue is to know when you changed the incline. (it’s not written into the FIT file) This is the reason I suggested to stop and restart at every incline change.
ok…finished the run, here’s what I did…
Created a workout in ICU.
–Varying inclines at same speed / various inclines at varying speed
–You can see the time stamp on when the incline has changed
Executed ICU workout on Garmin watch with IQ Stryd power zones field.
–Stryd pod was connected to mobile app and Garmin watch
–Any change in incline on the treadmill was done on the app. Figured I’d do both since you can use cadence, HR, etc if you want.
I have a few files to share but don’t know how…Help?
Stryd power center (Stryd app data / Garmin data)
Garmin connect original file
ICU workout file
put them into OneDrive/Dropbox etc like what GarageLab said
Zip up ALL the relevant files, then rename them to .mrc (eg: xyz.zip.mrc) and you can attach and upload it to this thread using the upload button. (It seems to allow me to do that)
The final output file doesn’t have incline % written into it, so the workout file (which has x% incline at y time) would be needed.
Hi @Mark_Benyak - The workout you did, I’m not very fluent in reading the workout steps. It looks like you did incline increments of 2% and at least for the warmup, it’s 5min each.
At 300 seconds(5min), we start to see power divergents as you went to 2% incline. Did you also alter the treadmill speed, cos it looks that way.
What’s interesting is the divergent at 600seconds (10min - blue arrow), you went to 4% incline, GPower(Stryd Power @0% incline) drops. The Red Box, ignore for now as the incline may not be entirely correct, per the Workout Steps, it “LOOKS” like it should be at 15%…
When I input my weight to be same as what is stored in My Stryd Pod, it matches. It doensn’t with yours. I wonder if it will default to 70kgs is a threshold.
I had some time to collect data on a treadmill this weekend. The FIT is attached.
I walked at two speeds and ran a four speeds and collected Stryd data with the Stryd app to adjust incline. At each speed, I started at 0 incline, then cycled through 2, 4, 8, 16, 30, 40 degrees to get the adjusted power and then back to 0 degrees.
The Virtualpod data and Stryd’s data are kind of similar, but not too close. I think Stryd is doing a lot of in-house research to develop their product.
Some analysis where I normalized the curves (divided all points by the first point value, so all curves start at 1.0) and plotted the percent change from baseline reading vs slope. I don’t think Stryd is using Minetti. But I still need to digest the data.
Tx @Garagelab I did what I could w/ the data, making guesstimates along the way.
I didn’t do the entire data set as I had to eyeball where each boundary was for the incline. I also took the flatpower as average of the 0% incline which may have contributed a small % to the final inclinePower I’m calculating.
at the very highest incline, I’m seeing up to ~+15w higher reading vs the data from Stryd. (which is about 5% delta)
Questions regarding Stryd treadmill use with QZ:
Does the QZ app adjust the reported Stryd power appropriately and factor in the incline into the power value? The resulting power is similar to power recalculated by Stryd IOS / Android app in parallel ?
Does the stryd incline corrected power saved to .Fit file?
Yes it adjust the power in the branch version linked above! i can put in the master branch if you are interested. let’s move the discussion there about this!
the resolution is very similar, yes!
yes also the power value is corrected in the fit file generated by qz
