Tragic Death of Lydiard at 87 during the tour

"Death of a Sporting Legend" - NZ paper

Obviously below dates are off - sad - great person and resource

NZ's Arthur Lydiard in California
Coming up Soon in December!!

Arthur Lydiard with Olympic Champion & WR Holder Peter Snell

One of the world's great distance coaches, who we think really caused a revolution in the sport with the distance running he asked athletes from the 800 meters on up to do starting way back in the 1960's with Peter Snell, Murray Halberg, and others, is coming to California for some speaking dates. If you can take him in, he is a super speaker, more than willing to share information that is a big help (we listened to him in the late 1960's when he used to come to the Los Angeles area).
