Is coach Canovas training suitable for the common runner? I'm talking people training for a marathon outside the 2hr 10min range (or probably even much faster!)?

If the common runner (reading this forum) embraces the aspects of training, where Canova says he is "VERY FAR from Lydiard", will they end up getting injured/burning out?


The principles are entirely different, and can apply to anyone. I apply the principles to myself, and share them with my friends. Canova does not say the principles don't apply to everyone, but that everyone is not a world class runner and therefore can't train the same way. That is very simple to understand, yes?


Are Lydiards principles at the base


No, you should read Renato's post comparing some of the principles, and you should see they are entirely different.

For example, a long time friend of mine, and long a Lydiard advocate, has a hard time getting it out of his head that he has to run his "best aerobic pace" every day. He absolutely does not understand regeneration and recovery.

Anyway, Renato summarized the differences and my words are not his. You should read his summary of these, and this might take time for you, being a long term Lydiard advocate.
