Fdip189: The Other Newton’s Laws

They called him Arthur “Greatheart” Newton. He had been a runner in his twenties, but gave it up after a time, taking to the road again 12 years later when, at the age of 38, he ran his first Comrades Marathon. His contribution to distance running is great in that he chose to use common sense to guide his training methods, rather than formulas found in books on the subject of running. Dr. Tim Noakes, in his book “Lore of Running” outlines 9 of his principles of training that helped to guide Newton’s success in our sport, and revolutionized the way that coaches trained their athletes Show Links:http://wyotri.blogspot.comhttp://www.teampointtwo.comhttp://worldwidefestivalofraces.comFdip Blog of the Week: http://www.seegirlrun.comFeatured http://www.runningpodcasts.org PodCast: Run Vegan RunThe song “Ghost In Your Mind” was by Black Lab http://blacklabworld.com
