Stephen McGregor, PhD, lead author of The Runner’s Edge (Human Kinetics, November 2009), claims that by using speed and distance devices, runners of all levels can maximize performance. A speed and distance device measures elapsed time, distance covered, speed/pace, and elevation change. Each model comes with performance management software, but McGregor also highlights Training Peaks WKO+, which works with all speed and distance devices.
Most notably, Dr. McGregor created the normalized graded pace (NGP) algorithm and the run training stress score (rTSS). Dr. McGregor is the director of the Applied Physiology Laboratory at Eastern Michigan University and has published and presented numerous research papers examining muscle injury, nutritional supplements, performance modeling, and running physiology. Matt Fitzgerald is the author of numerous books on running, triathlon, nutrition, and weight loss.
