Running with Lydiard

Since the outstanding success of his New Zealand athletes Snell, Halberg and Magee at the 1960 Rome Olympics, Arthur Lydiard s name has been synonymous with the best training methods used by the world s top middle and long-distance runners. His schedules precipitated an athletic revolution, stressing as they did physiological conditioning as a prerequisite to sporting effort, and long-duration even-pace running at a strong speed as the means of achieving this. Arthur Lydiard, instructing runners and coaches in Finland, Mexico, venezuela, Denmark, Japan, the United States and New Zealand over the past 50 years, has continued to experiment and refine his methods. "Running with Lydiard" contains expanded information on exercise physiology, diet, injury prevention and cure, discussion of Lydiard's methods and revised training schedules.
