Percy Cerutty

Athletics, Australia. Cerutty ran a training camp at Portsea, near Melbourne, where athletes ran up steep sand dunes, lifted weights and followed a strict natural diet, a regime he called "Stotan" and described in his own books. His best-known pupil, Herb Elliott, never lost a mile or 1500 metres race and won Olympic gold in Rome in 1960 in world-record time.
