Collaborator

25 September – 16:45 – MILAN

Being part of the cause as a coach I am rather difficult for me to speak in a balanced way of Lydia Ghizzoni. Only 13 years. But really talent to sell. Last Sunday, in the second edition of the meeting Track night played on the track of Bust Arsiziothe young woman ran 1000 meters in 2.52.92. New best Italian performance. The previous record of 2.55.76 belonged to Nicole Svetlana Reina Since 2010. The third time All time, on the same distance, is instead of a certain Nadia Battocletti with 2.56.71.

With the latter record, the best performances made in 2025 by Lydia, fourth gymnasium student at the Borgomanero classical high school. One year in advance of a normal school process. The other three primates relate to 1500 meters with 4.35.70time made in June in Bellinzona, then 6.26.21 on 2000 meters, obtained in May in Pavia, finally 9.54.74 on 3000 meters of July in Geneva. Results that would see her run as absolute protagonist also in the categories of cadets and students. Is to say confronting each other with athletes older than two or four years of age.

How it trains

Normally Lydia trains five times a week: carrying out the workouts at home Slow race from 6 to 8 kmfollowed by the former marathon runner Giacinto Grassanoin addition to a muscle enhancement session in the gym with Adriano Ruga. While then goes down twice to Campo 25 April of Milan to make the most demanding training under my guide.

Its qualities

On a technical level, it is noted for the great racing elasticity and the excellent organic capacity. All thanks to really rapid support times on the ground. Even with these excellent premises, not however having the crystal sphere, it is difficult to make predictions of any kind of athletic future. As his coach, with more than half a century of activities behind him, I can only say that having trained many high -level athletes, Lydia also has, both for its qualities and also for the entire support structure behind it, all the necessary chances to get to a high level.
