Royer Running Index

The Royer Running Index has been created as a means of assessing an athlete's training discipline, emotional maturity, consistency, resources, awareness and implementation of evidence based principles of training and many other things. While the majority of the items asked relate to mastery of training habits, this measure (when reviewed and improved upon) is anticipated to help an athlete, parent of an athlete, or a coach expect better outcomes as compared to individuals not engaging in this index. It is further anticipated that a runner scoring very high with this measure likely is improving in a steady manner as they are able to show consistent improvement in many areas of training resulting in progressively larger 'wins'.
