I purchased this specifically for its claimed treadmill accuracy. Runs were giving me pace times 30-40 seconds slower per mile than 3 different treadmills including a brand new peloton tread. Stryd support told me it was normal and the stryd is more accurate and to trust it. I found a link on their website to test treadmill belt speed and followed the instructions exactly and no surprise, the stryd was reporting paces 30-40 seconds slower per mile.

Improve Your Running Stats with the Stryd Footpod
Reach your running potential with the Stryd Power Meter Footpod. It's the most advanced wearable technology available to runners and measures a range of metrics so you can focus your training and pace yourself come race day. The Stryd is extremely accurate, even more so than a Sports watch when it comes to pace and distance so you'll be able to rely fully on the results.
Stryd Footpod Highlights
The Stryd Footpod now offers improved responsiveness, new run profiles for better reporting and more detailed sprint data for a more complete performance picture. It also includes Impact Loading Rate measurement so that you can optimise recovery.
The compact size and low weight of just 8 grams ensure you won't feel it when attached to your shoe and the construction is splash-proof for reliability even on wet days. The aluminium mount and redesigned clip ensure greater stability and security whilst the ANT+ and Bluetooth connectivity means that you'll be able to easily integrate the Stryd into your training ecosystem, both indoors and outdoors.

Reliable data-metrics, rechargable (no batteries, eco friendly), easy to connect, a game changer. No need to rely on treadmill calibrations to get your running speed, using the Stryd, won't matter the above, your speed will be the one you put, not the treadmill readings, essential in any running training....
