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. While instructing runners and coaches in Finland, Mexico, Venezuela, Denmark, Japan, the United States and New Zealand for more than 50 years, Arthur Lydiard always continued to experiment and refine his methods—methods that are still as relevant today as they were over half a century ago. Running With Lydiard contains expanded information on exercise physiology, diet, injury prevention and cure, discussion of Lydiard's methods and revised training schedules.

Arthur Lydiard

New Zealander Arthur Lydiard ONZ OBE was the most successful trainer of middle- and long-distance runners in the world. He coached runners from different countries, including Peter Snell-who won the gold three times-and Lasse Viren. In the 50s and 60s, Arthur Lydiard not only revolutionized middle- and long-distance training, but he was also the founder of the jogging movement and credited with making running popular across the sporting world. Lydiard died in April 2004, but his legacy as one of the outstanding coaches of all time survives to this day.
