Category: Sports & Recreation

Written with Lydiard's long time co-author Garth Gilmour, "Distance Training for Young Athletes" addresses teenagers, parents, teachers and coaches with instruction, guidance and wisdom. In a simple, clear and non-technical style it covers all aspects of running middle and long distance races for fun and success, including philosophy, physiology, running mechanics, nutrition and injury prevention. It concludes with sample training schedules, tested in athletics and other sports for more than four decades.
