The objective of the present thesis is to map out the global development of the training related to running disciplines, with the emphasis on the 1,500m run. From the middle of the 19th century, the development of training moved ahead quickly, and periods of fast development would change periods of stagnation. Available sources reveal that as a rule, when a new training method was discovered, a period of faster improvement of performance ensued. At first, there was no systematic training, as new training methods were discovered in succession. Such methods were gradually improved and adjusted to relevant conditions and runners. Some of them have been used to the present day, whereas others are applied only marginally. Observably, the development of performance has undergone more influences in addition to newly discovered training methods. Such essential influences include wars, permitted and prohibited supplements, African runners engaging in the world athletics. Despite the fact that no new significant training method has been discovered in the several past decades, world records are forever improving, even though at a pace slower than that a hundred years ago. At present, the whole process is rather oriented at the adjustment of trainings in accordance with personal prerequisites of individuals.
