I know Bannister always considered himself as one (despite the help of Stampfl), but are there more recent examples?

Some guy named Shorter, and some guy named Clayton.

Hendrick Ramaala
Faris Al-Sultan

Kip Keino.

Rod Dehaven
Geb!
Until his coach gets out of prison:
Tyson Gay
Ron Clarke. Ron Hill. Benji Durden.
Faris rides 500-700 miles a week, runs 90-100, you dont need much coaching if you can handle that.
a better triathlon example is Kevin Moats, current 50-54 AG record holder at Hawaii--has always been self coached and is now annihialiting the 50+ age age group--at nats he ran sub 40 for the 10K.
