Tutor description
Brad Hudson, the elite coach who took Dathan Ritzenhein to ninth in the 2008 Beijing Olympic marathon, says there might be a better model. Based on his own experiences as a runner and his observations of other runners who struggled with aspects of the Lydiard pyramid, Hudson began to move away from the strict phases of that system. While Lydiard’s plan is symbolized as a base of strength with levels of speed layered on top, Hudson’s model tips the pyramid on its side to form an arrow.
