Dr. Milroy received the award of fellow from the Institute of Sports Medicine in 1999 and from the UK Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine in 2006.

He lives in Chester, United Kingdom, with his wife, Clare, near to his four children and five grandchildren.
"As a physician, exercise scientist, and masters athlete, I've come to recognize the critical importance of strength training in maximizing performance. Running Anatomy lays the groundwork for proper strength, cardiovascular, and mental training for runners of all abilities. If you're a runner looking to reach your full potential, you need to read this book."Jason Friedman, MD—Exercise Physiologist, and National 100K Age-Group Champion “I cannot overstate the impact Joe Puleo has had on my running career. One of the biggest challenges as an amateur elite runner is the workload balance between training and managing a career as an active-duty Marine, all while holding off injuries. Puleo's knowledge and advocacy for strength training have been force multipliers in allowing me to run fewer miles, train smarter, and continually push my boundaries as a distance runner. This book is a great addition to any athlete's library.”Major Christine M. Taranto—Two-Time PIAA State Champion, Two-Time Marine Corps Athlete of the Year, Second Place Marine Corps Marathon (2015)
