About The Author
Arthur Lydiard
New Zealander Arthur Lydiard ONZ OBE was the most successful trainer of middle- and long-distance runners in the world. He coached runners from different countries, including Peter Snell—who won the gold three times—and Lasse Viren. In the 50s and 60s, Arthur Lydiard not only revolutionized middle- and long-distance training, but he was also the founder of the jogging movement and credited with making running popular across the sporting world. Lydiard died in April 2004, but his legacy as one of the outstanding coaches of all time survives to this day.
Garth Gilmour is a journalist and has been Lydiard’s coauthor since 1960. He has written biographies of famous athletes, Murray Halberg, Peter Snell, Sandra Barwick, world famous as an ultradistance runner, and paraplegic sportswoman Eve Rimmer.
