Arthur Lydiard, Leader of Jogging Movement, Dies at 87
NY Times
Arthur Lydiard of New Zealand, perhaps history’s premier distance-running coach and one of the first to promote fitness through jogging, died Saturday in Texas. He was 87.
The cause was apparently a heart attack, his family told Reuters. Lydiard had been in the United States for a month on a lecture tour and had been coaching runners in Houston before he was stricken at a hotel, the New Zealand Press Association said.
