This 1990 release, with a run time of 31 minutes, was released under the Video Quest label and is hosted by Paul Cummings. Cummings overcame allergy problems to set the BYU mile record in 1974 (3:56.4) and later participated in the 10,000 meters at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Here you will learn about "Consistency Training" which is an adaptation to Arthur Lydiard’s four step "Phase Training". The four components of consistency training include: Upper body strength training, endurance training, 70% effort training, and anaerobic capacity training. Sample workouts, weekly schedules, and peaking are all discussed as the goal is to raise the anaerobic endurance threshold level to improve performance. This video is accompanied by a 16 page workbook. Paul died in September 2001 in a boating accident at the age of 48. This video was once made available for sale directly from the production company, Eclecon.com.
