Training more often than not took second place to his young family and university studies. His attitude to training though was uncompromising; for Herb it was only after the pain stretched body and soul, that he considered himself really making progress. This is a philosophy he still ascribes to today. When Herb retired he’d accrued an amazing 44 consecutive victories in world-class competition for distances over the mile. Australia recognised him with the Helms Award in 1958 and MBE for outstanding service to Australian Athletics, in 1964. Herb Elliott continued the spirit of sporting excellence into his successful business career. He was Chief Executive of Puma in the United States before returning to Australia in 1997. || He was one of the bearers of the Olympic Torch at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, and entered the stadium for the final segment before the lighting of the Olympic Flame. Herb Elliott was recently ranked in Western Australia's 100 most influential people. There is a biography covering his career, The Golden Mile, Cassell, 1961.
