I have been doing a lot of research and all of my research has brrn leading me to him and his training philosophy. Which people keep on suggesting and his pyramid philosphy. I would really like to get my time down to 9:10 I am willing to do whatever it takes to succeeded this goal. I am in garde 11 and are hoping to do grade 13. My times are:
400: 57.6
800: 2:12
1500 4:35
3000: 10:30
Run more first. I had a 59 400 time when I ran a 9:45 3000m time. No speed, but a lot more endurance from running so much.
The key with the Lydiard method is patience. You are building your aerobic engine over months and years of strong aerobic running (Not jogging).
If you want a want a quick fix and don't care about long term development then just hammer the intervals for 6 weeks.
Like the previous poster said, you need to focus on running more (probably a lot more), run at a good strong pace. After 10 weeks of this, you will be ready to start the real training.
