Two From Arthur

Arthur Lydiard was the greatest running coach ever. In addition, he laid down the system that most sensibly and efficiently trains and develops athletes. His words below are applicable to all athletes.

Sometimes, seemingly simple advice can be the most profound. Consider this first quote from Arthur:

“It's just a matter of understanding what's necessary and discipline yourself to do it.”

Lastly, Lydiard offers this:

  “Athletes need to enjoy their training. From enjoyment comes the will to win.” 

 Sensible training, should not be a grind or work-like, it should in many ways offer an escape from all that.

35 minutes easy running in the woods, stretching after.

What are you doing today?
