In school, he ran and boxed, but was most interested in rugby football. Because of the Great Depression of the 1920’s, Lydiard dropped out of school at 16 to work in a shoe factoryc. Lydiard figured he was pretty fit until Jack Dolan, president of the Lynndale Athletic Club in Auckland and an old man compared to Lydiard, took him on a five-mile training jog. Lydiard was completely exhausted and was forced to rethink his concept of fitness. He wondered what he would feel like at 47, if at 27 he was exhausted by a five-mile run. Lydiard began training according to the methods of the time, but this only confused him further. At the club library he found a book by F.W. Webster called “The Science of Athletics.” But Lydiard soon decided that the schedules offered by Webster were being too easy on him, so he began experimenting to find out how fit he could get.
  • Standard Tables 2020 E.S.A.A

    Standard Tables 2020 E.S.A.A

    Standard Tables 2020 E.S.A.A. National Standards are those performance levels for which standard badges may be purchased at the National Championships. Entry Standards are the minimum performance levels normally required for an athlete to be selected for a County Team for the National Championships. County Standards correspond to a good standard of performance by an athlete competing in a County Championship meeting. District Standard corresponds to a good standard of performance by an athlete competing at a District Championship meeting. These may need amendment to suit the variations in type of District Championship staged. School Standard corresponds to a good standard of performance by an athlete competing at a School Championship meeting. Except for Year 7 and 8 tables - the age groups, events and event specifications are as set out in the Track and Field Competition Rules. Years 7 and 8 The variety of events and specifications is offered in order to cater for the intense athletic interest and for the rapid physical changes which take place at this stage. It is stressed that success in the initial teaching of athletics stems from the understanding that the physical challenge to the pupil should not exceed that which can be comfortably handled. All children, therefore, should be started with light implements and low hurdles, and be allowed to progress as appropriate to themselves. This will almost certainly create some problems of organisation at school level, but these are NOT insurmountable. The Standards shown for younger age groups and for School and District level are being re-worked to match the Awards Scheme.

This project compares the women’s 1500-meter world record times to the time elapsed between when they were run. The function of time which describes this comparison is found through graphing the data and interpreting the graphs. Then the obtained model function is compared to the real time data. The conclusions drawn from the result include that the calculated function of time lacks in accuracy as time elapsed increases, but the model could be used to estimate the future world records.
