Lydiard's whole thing was to just emphasize that you need to get out and do aerobic running. Wetmore followed along with that and ensures that his guys do a lot of aerobic running. Lydiard also liked having athletes run over hilly terrain, which Wetmore has been able to do fairly easily out in Colorado. So what Wetmore did was combine the emphasis on aerobic development with modern knowledge about specific training for events. So he still has guys do intervals at key sessions toward the end of their buildup.
What you need to understand is that while aerobic running is pretty mainstream now for most college teams, that wasn't the case when Wetmore started up. Many coaches thought it was all about high intensity. So Wetmore's focus on aerobic development was unique and could be traced back to original proponents like Lydiard. Nowadays most decent coaches are based in Lydiard even if they don't know it themselves.

I don't agree with having a hill phase, but hill bounding is a good idea as a drill.

That's funny, (using McMillan's take on Lydiard) I do a hill phase but think the idea of bounding is silly even as a drill.
