In April of 1990, Arthur Lydiard gave a lecture in Osaka Japan as part of a clinic he conducted in Tokyo and Osaka.\xa0 From that trip, numerous articles were written in running magazines all over the world, and the material he covered led to his publishing a book titled \u201cRunning With Lydiard\u201d.\nHe is without a doubt one of the greatest athletic coaches of all time, and is credited with popularizing and inventing the sport of recreational running and jogging for health.\xa0 His training methods were all about building a strong base and incorporating periodization and there are many world class runners today who give credit to the man for their impressive success on the track, fields and roads.\nThis is the exact spoken presentation of his Osaka lecture in conversational form that sometimes wanders outside the rules of grammatical perfection, it lacks the physical expressions that were transmitted during the lecture, and is often a stream of conscious thoughts that converge on more solid themes, but in this episode I\u2019ll read \\them exactly as they were spoken because: as a whole; the message is brilliant. \nThese are the words of the great coach Arthur Leslie Lydiard.\nDictated and edited by Nobuya \u201cNobby\u201d Hashizume\nShow Links:Fdip Blog of the Week: \u201cRun\u201d by \u201cDirty Proper\u201d
