The marathon-conditioning phase of Lydiard's system is known as base training, as it creates the foundation for all subsequent training.

Under Lydiard's tutelage Snell went on to double-gold at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Lydiard's ground-breaking impact on distance running was recognised by Runner's World, which hailed him as All time best running coach.

Although both these approaches represent modifications of the Lydiard system they are by no means a complete refutation of the system because they share with Lydiard an emphasis on endurance work as the point of departure in conditioning distance runners and Horwill's and Daniels ' programmes follow the same periodisation sequence as Lydiard's.

Nearly every successful athletics coach or athlete active in the world today consciously or unconsciously emulates Lydiard's training system by laying an endurance base and making use of periodisation for peak performance.

Lydiard's emphasis on an endurance base for his athletes, combined with his introduction of periodisation in the training of distance runners, were the decisive elements in the world-beating success of the athletes he coached or influenced.

For Lydiard's greatest athletes the target race was invariably an Olympic final.

In the 1950s and 1960s, during the base phase of their training the athletes under Lydiard's tutelage would run a 35 km Sunday training route, from his famed 5 Wainwright Avenue address in West Auckland, through steep and winding roads in the Waitakere mountain ranges.

After laying such an arduous endurance base Lydiard's athletes — including Murray Halberg, Peter Snell, Barry Magee and John Davies — were ready to challenge the world, winning six Olympic medals amongst them in the 1960 Rome Olympics and the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

Snell who, after retiring from athletics in the mid-1960s went on to obtain a PhD in exercise physiology, stated in his autobiography No Bugles No Drums that the marathon-conditioning endurance aspect of Lydiard's training was the primary factor in his success as a world-beating middle distance athlete.

These post-Lydiard training systems are unavoidably indebted to Lydiard's coaching philosophy as much as they may attempt to distance themselves from Lydiard's powerful and pervasive influence on the training of distance athletes.

As recently as 2009, Lydiard's training methods were also credited as the catalyst for the qualification of an unprecedented three South African male athletes, Juan Van Deventer, Pieter Van Der Westhuizen and Johan Cronje, for the 1500 metres for the 2009 Track and Field Championships in Berlin.
