	Running Times Magazine: Legendary Lydiard
		Lydiard’s greatest contribution, along with directly guiding Olympic champions and spreading the concept of "jogging" to millions of citizens, has been his influence on countless coaches who would go on to teach the Lydiard system.
		De Castella’s coach, Clohessy, was coached by Lydiard by correspondence on his way to becoming the 1962 NCAA three mile champion while attending the University of Texas.
		And in the spring of 1992 Lydiard was invited to Kenya for a seminar put on by their Athletic Federation.

		Lydiard was the first to lay out the modern concepts of volume training, quality, hard/easy, tapering, specific hill training, plyometrics, periodization, master's running, female distance running, and peaking for the most important race.
		Lydiard was insistent his runners run their best when it counted most, repeatedly reminding them it didn't matter if they came in far behind in the early races of the season.
		Lydiard's most remarked-upon innovation was having 800-meter and mile runners training like marathoners in the early part of their base training.
