  John Walker (runner) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John George Walker (born January 12, 1952 in Papakura) was a middle distance runner from New Zealand.
Throughout his career as a world-class miler Walker was coached by Arch Jelley, school principal and middle distance runner himself, whose work with runners has been typified by meticulous training programmes on a scientific basis and effective communication in person.
Walker later became the first to run 100 sub 4 minute miles in a closely fought and contentious battle with Steve Scott.

 American Track and Field -- Feature Article
His knowledge of training middle distance runners is expansive and is based on his own experiences as a runner and years of coaching some of New Zealand's leading middle distance exponents: Neville Scott, a finalist in the 1956 Olympics and Ian Studd one of NZ's first sub 4 minute milers.
He was primarily a 800 metre runner at this point and Jelley does not believe that mileage in the order of 100 miles a week is appropriate for 800 metre runners.
In July of 1973 Walker made the first of what was to become an annual sojourn to Europe and improved his times to 1 minute 46.3 seconds for the 800 metres and 3 minutes 38 seconds for 1500 metres.
