Written by Jaryd Clifford - Runner's Tribe Six seconds in the marathon is nothing, but for Liam Adams, it was everything. For a fleeting moment after crossing the finish line of the Gold Coast Marathon, frustration erupted. “Fuck. That was weak as piss. You stuffed that up,” he yelled. Stumbling...
It doesn’t take much to send me racing off down memory lane. This could be because the past is the only place where I’m still running PBs. The impetus this time came from a query as to whether I might have a copy of the 1978 City-to-Surf race results. I...
