Many might not be aware that the Twin Cities has many ties to the legendary New Zealand distance running coach, Arthur Lydiard. Nobby Hashizume is a co-founder of the Lydiard Foundation along with Olympic medalist and former Twin Cities resident Lorraine Moller of New Zealand, an organization dedicated to keeping alive the legacy of Lydiard and spreading the message of his training principles. Their website www.lydiardfoundation.org is under reconstruction right now, but should be back up in a couple of weeks, says Hashizume. For now runners can access their training program site HERE.
To read more about the practical and scientific issues with Lydiard's program, a feature on Peter Snell, one of Lydiard's athletes who went on to a career in exercise physiology/sports science go HERE.
