Essential Reading From The Distance Guru,
This review is from: Running With Lydiard (Paperback)
The theories of Arthur Lydiard are essential reading for runners at all age levels and abilities.
His use of base (endurance) training, followed by phase work of strength, anaerobic and anaerobic-taper is geared to peaking a runner for maximum performance in a major event. But it's through the endurance training phase where he may be most famous on the roads and trails; it set a foundation which created the running "boom" in the 1970s in the United States and popularized the sport in other nations as a means to achieve fitness. Lydiard is a coaching icon and his theories will live on as long as a runner is tying the shoe laces and getting ready for a distance jaunt.

Quintessential Lydiard. A must have for any serious runner or coach. Great principles that are the backbone to many running programs.

Early Lydiard,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Running With Lydiard (Paperback)
Very informative and interesting book. Definitely primitive, compared to today's "scientific approach" books. Delved into the early days of endurance, and that's what I was interested in. Well worth the purchase and a good add to my library!
