lydiard

Did a little surfing on training theory today when I was home sick, and ran into this description of Lydiard's philosphy. It's a little hard to find all the related posts, I think there's five in all, but they're up there somewhere. It's a nice summary of Lydiard's training phases for someone who doesn't have the time to plough through a more detailed description. One note of interest, Lydiard's bounding or springing phase that includes a lot of up hill drills are based on a premise of biomechanics that is totally rejected by the Pose method. I certainly wouldn't write Lydiard off on that basis, but it's interesting.
