How has Japan produced so many great marathoners over the years? Nobby Hashizume helps us answer that question  with his vast knowledge of Japanese running history and his intimate understanding of the Arthur Lydiard method of training, which transformed Japanese marathoning in the early 1960s. Nobby went from being a high school athlete in Japan, to studying under, and living with Arthur Lydiard in New Zeland, to coaching for Hitachi Ltd. in Japan. He know lives in the US and runs Lydiard Training and Academy as well as Running Wizard training system. 

Nobby is hosting a training clinic in St. Louis MO November 11-13 - see link below for details:
