what new plan did lydiard decide on? did ot brings immediete success?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lydiard

Lydiard’s method was developed from shrewd practical observation and was only retrospectively justified in light of physiological science. It is undeniable that, at least for some individuals, the Lydiard method works brilliantly. The Olympic gold medals of Peter Snell (800m, Rome 1960; 800m and 1500m, Tokyo 1964); Murray Halberg (5000m, Tokyo 1964), Lasse Viren (5000m. and 10000m, Munich 1972); Pekka Vasala (1500m, Munich 1972) and the marathon bronze medal won by Barry Magee in Tokyo 1964, together with an impressive role call including winners of events such as the Boston marathon, provide compelling evidence that Lydiard’s approach can achieve great performances in races over distances from 800m to the marathon.
