CHRIS WARDLAW. “RAB” on the RUN. Chris “Rab” Wardlaw Has Done It All in Athletics
CHRIS WARDLAW. “RAB” ON THE RUN. Chris “Rab” Wardlaw has done it all in athletics. Two time Olympian, coach to Steve Moneghetti and Kerryn McCann, Head Coach to the Australian Track and Field Team for the Sydney Olympics, the list goes on and on. No wonder he is looked upon as Australia’s ‘distance running guru’. N.M. Chris, it’s the Christmas / New Year period and you’re at Falls Creek again. How many years have you been coming up here? C.W. I first came up in 1969 / 70 so I think that makes 32 years all up. N.M. Why Falls Creek? C.W. Well, I reckon that it has three or four things going for it. One is that there is a touch of altitude although I think that only has a minor impact. Secondly, Falls Creek has a fantastic running environment, really quite difficult running actually that toughens people up. Thirdly, I like the village where you can create a positive group atmosphere. Also, at Falls Creek there’s not much else to do so the runners get a lot of rest up here. So overall, Falls Creek has a fantastic all-round training effect on athletes. N.M. And athletes come from all over Australia, and the world, to train here. The Ray Boyd story certainly illustrates that. C.W. I think Boydy’s story is just fantastic - all about doing everything possible to be the best athlete you can be. (Ed. Ray Boyd lives in Western Australia. A few years ago Ray was determined to spend his Christmas holidays training at Falls Creek so he caught an early morning flight from Perth to Melbourne, a train from Melbourne to Wangaratta, then a bus from Wangaratta to Mount Beauty. -

The Winning Mindset Lorraine Moller the Reckoning of the Race
Colorado Track Club, The Winning Mindset Year: 2020, Article #3 The Winning Mindset Lorraine Moller The Reckoning of the Race Purpose: The purpose of CTCs The Winning Mindset is to collect and present articles by accomplished athletes, coaches, and business leaders in an effort to provide our readers with valuable insight into successful training, racing, business, and the characteristics of a high-performance mindset. Lorraine Moller enjoyed a 28-year international running career demonstrating an historic range in abilities. Her stellar track career (800m: 2:03.6, 1500m: 4:10.6, 3000m: 8:51.7) led to 16 major marathon wins including the Boston Marathon, 4 Olympic Marathons (’84, ’88, ‘92, ‘96) and earning the Bronze Medal in 1992. A pioneer in the sport she helped pave the way for parity of events for women (women did not run the Olympic Marathon until 1984), and was at the forefront in the battle to bring professionalism to running. A native New Zealander, she was first coached by Arthur Lydiard’s Olympic Medalist and coaching protégé John Davies, and later by Davies' protege, Dick Quax, Olympic silver medalist and 5000m world record holder. She also had the opportunity to learn from the icon himself. She is a founder and lead endurance instructor for the Lydiard Foundation, one of the top coaching certification programs in America. Today she travels worldwide to present classes to coaches of all levels. You can register for Lydiard classes and coaching services at www.LydiardFoundation.org.

NUTS NOTES Vol.18 No.4 October I960
NUTS NOTES Vol.18 No.4 October I960 The response to the last issue was most encouraging both from the interest shown by athletics enthusiasts in this country and abroad and in the number of contributions submitted for this issue or promised for future issues. However the overall number of contributors is still comparatively small and I hope that others will be encouraged to submit contributions in future. Considerable interest has been shown in the UK All Time Lists previously published; a list of compilations appearing in previous editions of NUTS Notes is as follows Vol 7 No.3 Pentathlon (m ) Vol 9 No.3 Pentathlon (F) 100mH 1971 Tables Vol 10 No.2 4 x 100mR (F) Vol 10 No.3 Decathlon Vol 10 No.4 HJ (M) Vol 11 N o .1 Pentathlon (f ) 100mH 1971 Tables Vol 11 No.2 3000mW & 5000mW (F ) 4 x 400mR (F) Vol12 No.1 400m (M ) Vol 12 No.3 800m (m ) Vol 12 No.4 1500m (M), 1000m(M ) , 1000y (M), 2000m (M) Vol 13 No.3 1M (M ) Vol 14 No.1 3M/ 5000m (M) Vol 15 Nos 3/4 6m /10000m (M ) Vol 18 No.3 SP, DT, HT, JT (M ) Some, of course, were combined performers/performances. My thanks to Andrew Huxtable for this list. I had very much hoped to include a Who’s Who of NUTS members in this issue (that is, of those members who returned the questionnaire that was sent out). However, this will now appear in the next issue and another form is enclosed for those members who have not yet replied. -

Sub-4 Register 2021
The Sub-4 Alphabetic Register (1663 athletes as of April 13, 2021) WITHIN A YEAR of the death of the first sub-4:00 miler, Sir Roger Bannister, at the age of 88, the total number of athletes who have broken through the once historic barrier was already past 1550, and no country has kept greater faith with the legend of the sub-4 mile than the USA. Even during the COVID-ravaged year of ’21 there were 51 men who broke 4:00 indoors, of which 32 were Americans. Outdoors in ’20 there were 33 who enterprisingly did so in Australia, Great Britain, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Switzerland and, of course, the USA. The total of US sub-4 milers is now 594, far ahead of Great Britain’s 215 and Kenya’s 152, with no other country yet nearing 100. The year ’21 has very soon passed another landmark, as Nick Willis, of New Zealand, has broken 4:00 for a record 19th successive year. The previous best of 18 was held by his countryman John Walker, but Steve Scott of the USA, is still the most prolific sub-4 miler in history, with 137 such times to his credit. Elsewhere, even the distant past has eventually yielded its secrets: a hitherto overlooked performance from as long ago as 1974 by a Bulgarian was not discovered until 36 years later! Bulgaria remains something of a mystery because another sub-four minute mile by a Bulgarian in ’92 (no venue or exact date) has only recently been caught up with! There are now 19 sets of brothers, including 5 sets of twins, and 11 sets of fathers and sons who have broken 4:00. -
The Lorraine Moller Story, Lorraine Moller
On the Wings of Mercury: The Lorraine Moller Story, Lorraine Moller DOWNLOAD http://bit.ly/15M7WHP http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=On+the+Wings+of+Mercury%3A+The+Lorraine+Moller+Story Lorraine Moller is one of New Zealand's greatest women distance runners. Four times an Olympic contender, winner of three Avon Women's Marathons, winner of the Boston Marathon, three times the winner of the Osaka international Ladies' Marathon, and a Commonwealth Games medallist, she is indeed a living legend of the running world. Lorraine began running barefoot with her father near her home in Putaruru and went on to win a bronze medal in the marathon at the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympic Games. Here, in her own words, Lorraine looks back on a golden era of athletics in New Zealand and the personalities she ran with - Arthur Lydiard, Dick Quax, rod Dixon, Anne Audain, Allison roe and others. She traces her development as a world-class competitor and reveals the strategies and coping techniques that took her to the world stage. A longtime battler for equality and professionalism in distance running, Lorraine is upfront about her struggles with officialdom. With the roman god Mercury as her guide, Lorraine competed with immense courage and determination at the highest level. Here is a candid, personal story of an extraordinary life: intense, insightful and highly entertaining.
