Check out the video: Rod Dixon’s kids program highlighted on NZ TV There's a bunch of little kids running barefoot at 1:18 into the video. So nice to see what Rod Dixon is doing to encourage the littles to run (hopefully for Life), continuing on the legacy his mentor instilled in him. Thanks, Dr. Mark, for shaing this!
From Happy May Day!
Just returned from a great trip to NZ to help a coaching and sports nutrition conference with long time friend Dr. Keith Livingston. He may be the longest documented survivor with advanced Glioblastoma Multiforme….s/p 12 yrs and 3 brain surgeries now. His book “Staring Down the Beast” which describes his unique approach to battling disease. The picture is Dr Keith and 2 other friends and legends in the running space now devoting their lives to the health of children- Olympic Medalists Rod Dixon and Lorraine Moller. Rob also won the epic 1983 NYC marathon and Lorraine took the Boston title in 1984. Both are native NZ and now living in the USA. Rod has shared his kids running program with over ½ million LA youth.
Rod Dixon’s kids program highlighted on NZ TV- Look how many kids are barefoot!
Also notice how Rod will only high five kids. This is from universal concern now of any adult touch with kids. They all want to hug him but he will only allow a high five. It’s just the way it is. Also the promise he made to Sir Edmund Hillary
Oh and the traditional rich foods- full fat dairy, incredible eggs, and lamb amazing. Sadly the SAD (Standard American Diet) has invaded and like Australia obesity and T2D are epidemic.
