Brad Camp is the 7th fastest Australian male marathon runner of all-time. Camp made his name on the road, at the marathon. He made the 1988 Olympic team, fulfilling an ambition he had set when he left school a few years earlier and a plan he had made with his coach, Tom Kelly. Below are some excerpts taken from the book ‘Australian Marathon Stars’.

Twenty years ago, I ran the Host City Marathon, the selection ‘trial’ race over the Sydney Olympic course. It was a decision which sits near the top of my ‘why on earth did I do that?’ list. In fact, it was added before the marathon...

I mean, let’s be serious for a second. If the sport really thought what he was doing was wrong, why didn’t they change the goddamn rules? But here’s the rub. The sport’s entire existence is predicated on a set of norms. Those norms must be enforced. So he was found guilty of minor infractions and given a punishment for “conduct unbecoming a coach.” Put another way, they didn’t ban him for his infractions, they banned him to set an example that some norms are not to be challenged. I’m fine with this. Salazar was violating the central norms that make track and field a viable sport. He knew this full well. He also knew people would come after him and he knew one step over the line could be the end. He did it anyway. Salazar got what he should have known was coming to him.

The story of the Ingebrigtsen brothers and their father is movie worthy stuff. Over 1500m, the slowest of the three brothers has a PB of 3:31.46. Over 5000m, the slowest brother has a 13:15 to his name.  Runner’s Tribe got the chance to grab some inside peaks at the training of the family, and this feature article outlines some of the key sessions the three brothers regularly complete leading into important races.

There comes a time when you think you have seen everything, read everything and heard everything about the marathon. As is usually the case when you fall into such a line of thinking, it turns out that time is never. The thing I never thought...
