I have a Stryd power pod and use it for all my runs.   Strava used to show my average power but several weeks ago it replaced power with calories.  How can I get my power numbers back?

Ah okay, so what you're asking for is indeed one of the feature requests that I posted about earlier 🙂 you can vote for it and hope that at some point, Strava will implement that option:

Hi ​@lehgoetz,

check the same activity via your dashboard on the Strava website. If the power numbers are there, it might be that other metrics simply took precedence in the mobile app, and you can vote for these feature requests to make this customizable:

 


If you can't see the power data at all (in the app nor via the web version), double check that Strava has all needed permissions to read the data. If unsure how, it would help if you post more details about how you sync the data, what device/OS you're using and anything else that might be relevant.

Hi there.   I did check on the desktop version and it shows calories there as well.   Just for clarification, Strava used to show average power but has recently changed back to calories which is pretty much useless.   I haven’t changed either how I record my runs (Garmin Forerunner 945) or how Strava gets the data (From Garmin Connect I believe).   The power show both in Garmin Connect and Stryd power centre.   I’d say Strava stopped showing average power on runs about a month or so ago (early September).

Hmm that's odd. I do have avg power on my runs including the yesterday's one, though I have a different setup - I’m recording with my AW with the native Apple Workout app and then sync to Strava. When I open a running activity in the app to view the details, the power data incl. avg power would be between HR and elevation:

 

That makes me suspect that your Strava indeed might need the permissions to be updated - if you specify what OS you're using, someone with the same setup should be able to advise.

OS?  I use Strava on my iPhone.  To be clear, if I scroll down I can see my avg power but I was hoto get the avg power back on the main details page.  See here   Instead of calories it used to show avg power  but it recently changed to calories
