Arthur Lydiard
November 10, 2004, 7pm
Regis College
Weston, MA
By Coach Tom Derderian.
Arthur Lydiard from New Zealand sparked the boom in long distance running in America. In the early sixties American coach Bill Bowerman, one of the founders of Nike, learned about the value of running steady long distances from Lydiard. Lydiard and his ideas formed the basis for the explosion in American long distance running in the 1970s regardless of whether the runners knew of Lydiard or not.
Lydiard, now 87, is coming to the Boston area to speak on Nov 10th at 7pm at Regis College in Weston, MA in an auditorium in College Hall, #202. Admission is $20 adults and $10 students. Space is limited so reserve with Tom Derderian, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This event is hosted by the Greater Boston Track Club.
Here are some websites about Lydaird.
