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 up for his best performance on the day and throw a cat among the pigeons for the Africans. Liam gritted it out like he always does and was closing in on the runner in third spot with the gap to the bronze medal narrowing with every stride as they neared the finish line but unfortunately ran out of real estate and finished seven seconds behind in fourth. Liam is already thinking about the road to Paris in two years times that would see him pull on the marathon green and gold singlet for his third consecutive Olympic Games to match his Comm Games record. Liam is one of the most successful runners and athletes Australia has had, and will no doubt comfortably break the 2:10 barrier in the months to come to make his spot on the Australian Olympic Team non-discretionary! All the best Liam:)   Greatly appreciate your support for the podcast on Patreon -www.patreon.com/therunningguypodcast   The Running Guy Podcast Singlet -www.therunningguypodcastsinglet   The Running Guy Coaching Website - therunningguy.com.au   Instagram - Instagram.com/therunningguypodcast   Facebook - therunningguypodcast   Join The Running Guy Podcast Strava Club -  therunningguypodcast   YouTube Channel youtube.com/channel/UCAvM0q11KzHkLBoL0LX_9lw   Opening music - Artist: Soundroll Song: Lost in Love Closing music -  Artist: Dan Henig Song: Wood   DanHenig.com   Hey guy's if you are enjoying listening to the show and would like to make a small donation of support then follow this PayPal link https://paypal.me/astonduncan?locale.x=en_AU
