 A LECTURE by ARTHUR LYDIARD
One of the first countries to follow Lydiard’s revolutionary training method, however, was the host country of 1964 Olympic Games, Japan.
Japan would send a group of coaches and runners, led by the late Kiyoshi Nakamura (coach of great Toshihiko Seko), as well as inviting Lydiard to Japan for a series of clinic in 1962~63.
After he went into seemingly obscurity after Tokyo Olympics where Peter Snell collected two more gold medals and John Davies won a bronze medal, nobody heard the name Lydiard any more because he wasn’t coaching athletes.
