Power metering, once exclusive to cycling, is now commercially available for runners through two approaches: insole-based force plates that measure ground reaction forces directly, and miniature motion-capture devices clipped to the shoe that infer load from body weight transfer. Both work outdoors, not just on treadmills, and give athletes real-time biofeedback on effort and form. This means runners can now apply the same wattage-based training discipline that cyclists have used for years.
