(70,000 finishers in 2012). Which got the world jogging… Which led to NIKE ruling the world Which proved that “Greatness Isn’t Born. It’s Grown”. This book explores how some of the greatest hot-beds of excellence in a number of pursuits have many things in common: inspirational, encouraging mentors, often working on their own, who don’t compromise their pursuit of excellence. Explains how repeated training eventually results in ‘myelination’ of repeatedly trained neuromotor pathways, so that patterns of recruitment and movement that previously required great concentration become ‘automatic’. ‘LYDIARDZONE’ CENTRAL Multiple Olympic medallists from one small suburb North West East South ‘Arthur’s Boys’ all lived, worked, and trained from the inner western suburbs of Auckland, and their training groups ran a hilly 22-mile (35 kilometre )hilly circuit into the Waitakere Ranges bushland to the west of Auckland. John Walker lived in southern Auckland, and most of his foundational long running in his formative years was done with his Manurewa clubmates in the equally challenging Hunua Ranges to the East. Peter Snell, Dick Quax, Arch Jelley, Arch Jelley, Barry Magee, Arthur Lydiard , Jeff Julian, Bill Baillie, Kevin Ryan and Murray Halberg all lived, worked, or were brought up within roughly a square mile.(scale: vertical yellow line appx 1 mile) Colin and Keith Livingstone Owairaka Primary School 1965 (Keith barefoot: many kids went barefoot ) Colin and Keith with neighbours Fiona and Anne, and ‘Flash Vesey’, the world’s most intelligent labrador, Owairaka Avenue, 1965.

Arthur’s place at 5 Wainwright Avenue, looking east. The plans for several assaults on world records and Olympic medals were made at the kitchen table in this humble family home. How Keith Livingstone got started with Lydiard Training: Keith running barefoot for Owairaka Club at Mt Smart in 1976 for his first Auckland title, in his first-ever Auckland Championships, winning by 11 seconds in an U-18 centre 3000m record at the time of 8:54.6, after his first self-coached Lydiard buildup during the Christmas holidays, dropping 50 seconds from his previous best in one hit. Later shots are in NZ Senior Men’s 5000m in 1979, and Victorian 12 km cross- country in 1982. “Any Normal Healthy Man Can Run Under 2hr 30 for a marathon.” Damien Cook, Melbourne: from ‘Tortoise’ (3 hr 58m) to ‘Hare’ (2hr 21m) THE FIVEEven LYDIARD Older Ones!

  • T Put It Down
    In his Foreword, Lord Sebastian Coe eloquently sums up the contents. 'The story Harry tells of Australia at the Olympic Games is as vast and as sweeping as the landscapes of the continent itself, and the world­ wide Olympic Movement with which Australia shares such a rich history and special bond.' From Athens with Pride chronicles Australia's proud Olympic odyssey from Athens 1896 until Sochi 2014. As Gordon said at the launch, that journey has been ‘laced with some wonderful acts of courage', both individual and collective, collective induding the courage shown by the then Australian Olympic Federation in defying Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser and sending a team of 124 to the boycott-affected Moscow Olympics in 198o. A former general editor of the Australian Dictionary of Biography, John Ritchie, once said of writing biographical material that besides authors thoroughly researching and getting to know their subjects they 'should learn to write like angels'. Harry Gordon has done this in abundance in From Athens with Harry Gordon Pride. Out of interest, during the From Athens w ith Pride writing of the book Gordon, who The Official History of the Australian Olympic first reported the Olympic Games at Movement 1894 to 2014 Helsinki 1952, was inducted into the Penguin Books, Melbourne 2014 336 p.; SA60.00 Melbourne Press Club's prestigious ISBN-13:9780702253348, ISBN-10:072253340 Media Hall of Fame. One of the hitherto untold stories Reviewed by Bruce Coe contained within the pages is that of Francis Gailey. In St. Louis in 1904, 'Once you pick up From Athens Gailey represented the Olympic with Pride you are engrossed, and Club of San Francisco in the swim­ you are rapt and you just can't put ming events in the man-made it down.'

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.

  • From Whence We Came
    From Whence We Came _________________________________________________________________________________________ The marathon took its inspiration from one of the greatest athletic feats in history.

But the The first “City of Christchurch International Marathon” inspiration for this most classic of challenges hails back to a mythical Greek messenger named Pheidippides. Depending on which of history’s great bards you believe, Pheidippides ran 24 miles between Marathon and Athens to announce an Athenian victory in the Battle of Marathon. Upon delivering the message he dropped down dead, and so was born the great nobility of long distance running and the challenge they eventually dubbed “the marathon.” It was that great tale that inspired the first Olympic marathon and a quarter of a century later a similarly inspiring race took place right here in Christchurch. Like the marathon itself, the Christchurch Marathon ______________________________________________ was inspired by one of the greatest races in history; n With so many world class runners in the marathon field the 1974 Christchurch Commonwealth Games, on the the pace was always going to be fast.

  • Formation of the Sport of Athletics in Rotorua
    Lake City Athletic Club Inc A History by Pam Kenny Three clubs joined together in April 1991, to form the current Lake City Athletic Club Inc. A short history of the earlier clubs is shown first. Rotorua Amateur Athletic & Cycling Club / Rotorua Athletic Club 1931-1991 On the 13 November 1931 a meeting was convened at Brent’s Bathgate House to establish an athletic and cycling club in Rotorua. Thirty people were in attendance and the Rotorua Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club was formed, with the club achieving incorporated society status in 1938. Blue and gold were the club colours - blue singlet/blouse and shorts with gold “R” on the top. Weekly competitions were held at the Rotorua Boys High on a Friday evening, with the customary track and field events for the runners, with cyclists contesting both track and road races. Val Robinson winning an early ladies’ athletics meeting in the late 1940's The club went into recess during the Second World War, with activities resuming October 1944. Venues utilized between 1944 and 1960 were Harriers in the late 1940's - L to R; John Wild, Alex Kuirau Park, the old A&P Showgrounds near Uta Millar, Keith French, Harry Findon Street, Arawa Park, Pererika Street, and again Kuirau Park. 1961 saw the Club at Smallbone Park, its home until the 1983/84 season, when a move was made to the new International Stadium, though the inadequacy of the track led to a return to Smallbone Park for a season. 1986 it was back to the Stadium until sand carpeting of the ground prevented permanent lane markings and children being able to run barefooted.

As the date of the Opening Ceremony approaches, and athlete selection announcements begin to flow, we look forward to welcoming new Olympians into the New Zealand Olympian whanau. It’s clear that these Games will be conducted in challenging circumstances. Our athletes are preparing for a tough and very different Olympic Games experience. News that international spectators will not be able to attend the Games (while understandably necessary) is a blow, especially for competing athletes and their families. Because of these international travel restrictions, NZOC and its partners have sought new ways for New Zealanders to show their support. Some fantastic national and regional events are planned (we had a sneak preview at our last Olympians Commission meeting. Read more below about the Great Olympic Skate Roadshow which will be visiting 40 towns in 41 days, kicking off on Monday May 10th, with Olympians from all Games set to join for parts of the journey.
