Episode 62- Lorraine Moller: Female running pioneer and Lydiard protégé.

Today, I was fortunate enough to chat with Kiwi Lorraine Moller; she shares her journey, stories from her amazing career and an abundance of sage learnings and wisdom along the way! Lorraine Moller is a 4-time Olympian, Olympic bronze medalist (in the marathon, Barcelona 1992), a world track and field finalist, multiple Commonwealth Games track medalist and winner of 16 major international marathons! Alongside her running achievements, Lorraine was a forerunner for equality in women's athletics and an activist for professionalism in distance running. Her career started out in New Zealand as an exceptional 14-year-old middle distance runner, coached by Lydiard protégé and 1964 Olympic 1500m bronze medalist, John Davies. Always adhering to the methods of Arthur Lydiard, Lorraine wound up a 28-year stellar career as an undefeated master’s runner at her 4th Olympic Games at the age of 41. In 2006 she cofounded the Lydiard Foundation, a foundation dedicated to educating coaches and athletes in the art of endurance training and peaking.

Lorraine’s autobiography "On the Wings of Mercury," published in 2008, was launched by New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Helen Clark, and became #2 on the New Zealand Best Seller List. Lorraine lives in Boulder, Colorado.
