Liam Adams continues to perform at the highest level and race out of his skin when competing for Australia at the major championships, with one of the most courageous and ballsy efforts we've ever witnessed when attacking early off the front over at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Liam had learnt from previous race experiences against the East Africans, that allowing them to control the race with a fartlek type style of racing, would only lessen his chances of a good result. Liam was confident that settling into an early fast rhythm that was sustainable for the distance, would set himself u ..read more

Louis ended up executing a fine running perform ..read more

Liam Adams passage to his first Olympics in Rio 2016 was certainly filled with lots of barriers that he just managed to hurdle on the very last day of the qualification period. To say the Tokyo 2020 qualification was a lot easier would be far from accurate, when Liam's first attempt of running the 2:11:30 required time on the Gold Coast in 2019 fell short by just 6 seconds. Having the disappointment of the 2016 Lake Biwa DNF result in his mind when his hamstring failed, Liam was determined to make sure he did what ever was needed to make this one count and secure his spot on the Australian Tea ..read more
