2.0 out of 5 stars Just simply another edition of running to the top, January 22, 2001

There are a few chapters about communicating with young athletes and a few schedules (nothing special) for runners of different ages.

If you want to learn the Lydiard approach, the best thing to do is to simply buy Running to the top.

This review is from: Distance Training for Young Athletes (Meyer & Meyer Sport) (Paperback)
