Lydiard Training for High School and College Distance Runners

December's D-Crew Clinic was a knockout.

Nobby Hashizume, who lived and learned from Lydiard provided 90 minutes of stories and application of the Lydiard method for high school and college teams. I was glued to the screen the entire time.

A couple of things that here highlights for me:

• Quality aerobic running is key: ie. an 18 mile mid-week Medium-Long Run by Anne Audain that was 5:45-6:00 pace

• Peter Snell and Murray Halburg's Aerobic Conditioning Phase being virtually the same

• A reminder that Lydaird took a bunch of athletes from tiny New Zealand to the top of the world

• The realization that it's easier to peak when it counts if you've had a huge aerobic conditioning phase

• Multiple "long/long-ish runs" per week works

• Irv Ray and Tony Benson's book, Run With the Best is a treasure (if you can ever find it)

I came away a better coach after learning from Nobby and I know you will, too.
