Arthur Lydiard and his statements

It's Skuj.

I third. It's Skuj.

It's got to be Skuj.

Who else but Skuj?

It's the truth; it's Skuj.

It's a democrat country (as Skuj himself claimed before). We can say whatever we want, we can hide our identity if we want. So let's vote like true democracy should. Yep. It's decided. It's Skuj. That's the truth.

Oh I see, Ballie & Halberg, Scott, and who knows how many other Lydiard "diciples" made endless trips to Portsea, but they were really coached by Lydiard, right?

And Vasala went to NZ once but somehow Lydiard is the one responsible for his great success, even though Lydiard never trained him, and was not responsible for one iota of his successes.

Plus everything Lydiard advocated he got from somebody else, including about 90 percent from Percy Cerutty, yet somehow this became the "Lydiard Method???????" What a crock.

Rod Dixon even said so himself, that New Zealanders have always run a lot of distance and that it was nothing new with Lydiard. Whatever he says now, that is what he said in the 70's.

Ha, in fact I talked with Lydiard several times, and later found he did some of the things that I suggested, therefore "I" coached Lydiard, and therefore coached the coach of the coach of the coach of Viren, Vasala, and Paavo Nurmi. How about those apples! The fact is that maybe everything would have been a lot better had Lydiard not ever existed.

You are a full-out flaming moron.

You still obviously are mad to me. Leave your emotions away so that you can think clearly.

You, on the other hand, continue to abuse the system and post 100s times under 30 different names, attacking the same old decent people like HRE. You really have a problem. You are sick.

And he can be 50 diferent names for all we know and continue to enjoy his 4th grade love affair.

No, you are lying again. I´ve had 2 different nicknames in this thread, not 50 and not 30 as you claimed. It seems that maybe the one who has a problem, is you, based on the amount of inappropriate posts coming from you.

And I´m not "attacking" anyone, I´m just telling the truth when someone makes a reply to me. If someone here is "attacking", it´s you "white lie".

I have no life so I counted.

The truth: 96 posts (including 9 under "other" names)

Well you counted wrong. I´ve had 2 different nicknames in this thread, first "the thruth" and then "the truth:" And the amount of my posts is so high because all this people still keep writing to me. Should I stop posting then? Maybe.

Again, you are wrong, I´m not this "Skuj".

And to all others who can´t face the truth, I´m not this "Skuj". I´m "the truth:"

Easy, big boy! No need to get a tantrum. So if that was your response to my SPECIFIC question, then I take it that, out of ALL 30 to 40 (still a huge gap...) world records that came from wonderful wonderland of Portsea (as you claim), you can\'t even name ONE of them. I thought I\'ve already started for you. Or were you hoping to count Halberg and Baillie (7 total) as \"Cerutty\'s runners\" but since we stole them to Lydiard school UNJUSTLY, you lost all of those 30 or 40 or 200? Now ain\'t that a tragedy...

Scott? Are you talking about Naville Scott? I didn\'t know he set the world record but then again, he might have in your world where Lydiard sent spies to Portsea to steal Cerutty\'s ideas and Lydiard stole credit for Halberg and Baillie\'s running. Quick! Takc Scott cuz I didn\'t count him!!! That would be one? Or did he set 30 the way you count numbers in Finland (or Canada).?

I, for one, had a very nice visit with Mr. Lydiard some years ago. He was a good man. He helped me with my training. I am glad that I had met him. I also have a few others:

Brett Gotcher:

Lyndsey Allen:

http://www.flotrack.org/articles/view/1307-lindsay-allen

They both talk about the benefit of Lydiard training (of course, you may come up with some silly comment like "they had a gun stuck to their head!"...). And maybe, perhaps maybe, 13 other runners Greg McMillan coaches also.

So here we are.

Those who are glad Arthur Lydiard ever existed: (at least) 17

Those who "wish he were dead": 1

Oops! He IS dead. Well, what do you know? Aftere all, this IS "where your dreams become reality". Of course, mine hadn't: "Trolls be gone!" Oh, no. He's still here...

Like you said yourself, leave your emotions away, Skuj.

No WRs for Neville Scott. He ran the 1500 in two Olympics, 1956 and 1964 and had a bronze medal at three miles in a Commonwealth Games, (Cardiff in 1958 I think) but no WR.

And he was coached by Arch Jelly.

You must have missed my response to your question, so I will repeat it again for you.

third time known as the truth wrote:

Cerutty produced 30~40 world records? Is that the way you guys count in Finland?

time after time wrote:

Yes even the almost most ignorant people know this. And I am not from Finland.

Oh, poor girl! Did we all get teamed up and pick on you too much? Now that was a sad, sad, sad, pathetic response. I was so embarrassed I couldn't even read the whole thing...

I was talking about Skuj. If you're not Skuj like you claim that you are not, you wouldn't have to worry about it or concerned that I may or may not be mad at Skuj. Why are you refering to "me(=you, the truth)" when I was CLEARLY only talking about Skuj? Interesting... :)
