Great Man
If ever there was a man that epitomsed 'work ethic' - it was Arthur Lydiard. Hopefully the tributes over the next few days will remind us all of what a contribution this man made to the world - not just to the world of sport.
He is considered by many as the father of recreational running and one of the greatest athletic coaches in history. I think of him as a person that believed that hard work could achieve pretty much anything, and then proved it.
