This is fabulous - thanks for this. Our family never got a copy of this film, so it's great to see it. Regards the Foster Family - Kate

John Walker was coached by Arch Jelly and not Arthur. I know this system works because I coach from this system.

Thanks for making this movie. I was raised as a runner on the Lydiard method of training. Had the privilege of meeting Arthur when he was on tour selling his shoes in Cerritos, California, in about 1973. What a great man! Few of us can say we changed the world. Arthur Lydiard did!

This is a valuable relic and a window into another era. An innocent time before drugs in sport, when people ran for the pure pleasure of it. The Lydiards and Cerruty's of the world we will never see the likes of again.

Brillant. I have just linked this page from my little barefoot blog. It is one of my favourite posts of the week and it is great to see the giants of our sport in action. Thankyou.

As a Lydiard coach it was a great insight to some of the runners training and mentality. As a mountain runner I had a huge smile on my face at the end while looking at Fosters descent. It's usually hard to see how steep and fast runners are going on film but my heart was in my throat watching him descending. I would love to try that slope some day.

Can't wait to watch the rest of the related videos on this website.

Cheers,

A lovely time capsule, thank you for sharing. The quality of cinematography is fantastic - use of slow motion, wide angle, depth of field, etc.

This is a great find. Looked up Jack Foster and sad to see he was killed out riding his bicycle in 2004.

What an amazing video! Arthur Lydiard and his athletes are absolute legends. I'm proud to be a New Zealand athlete, following in the trails they blazed
