Becoming a Lydiard coach will:

  • Enable you to apply Lydiard principles of sequential development and correct timing to get the best out of athletes.
  • Give you an understanding of how the body is best trained to maximise a runner’s potential.
  • Teach you why the importance of developing an athlete’s aerobic base is the foundation for all further training.
  • Show you the key role that recovery has in promoting the necessary physical adaptions that will improve a runner’s performance.
  • Teach you how to make your athlete self-aware, so that they can feel when they are training at the right level.
  • Equip you to create training plans using Lydiard principles that meet the individual needs of athletes of all abilities for all events from 800m to ultra-distances.
