  • 5: Liam Adams, sparky marathoner
    Aug 4 2024

    Liam Adams is running the marathon in Paris this weekend! We spoke while he was training in Flagstaff, Arizona, surviving dodgy motel accommodation and encounters with wild animals. We talk about his rocky road to Australian team selection, what training has looked like recently, his goals for Paris, and the challenges of being unsponsored while running at the highest level.

    Liam is an Australian marathoner who famously works full-time as a sparky (sparky is slang for electrician for our international listeners). Liam ran his PB of 2:08:39 on the Gold Coast in 2023, which was the fastest time run by an Aussie in Australia, and Liam is confident there’s more in the tank.

    Liam is already a 2x Olympian, having represented Australia in the marathon at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and placing 24th at the Tokyo Olympics. He’s also competed at the Commonwealth Games and the World Athletics Cross-Country Championships. Paris will be his third Games.

  • 4: Adam Spencer, college athlete
    Jul 28 2024

    Fancy getting a ticket to Paris at 22? Adam Spencer has done it! Adam is an Australian middle-distance runner, currently studying at college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the US. The 22-year-old is set to line up for his maiden Games experience, running the 1500m for Australia in what’s set to be one of the most anticipated events of the whole calendar. In this conversation, we talk about Adam’s impressive 1500m win in a stacked field at the Australian Athletics Championships in Adelaide earlier this year. We rehash his breakthrough performance of 3:31.81 at London Diamond League in 2023, and why it meant so much to him. And we hear about life at college and the comical consequences of finishing last in your cross-country team. --

  • 3: Avish Sharma, sports scientist
    Jul 21 2024
    Ever wondered who’s behind the scenes supporting our athletes to peak for the biggest races of their lives? This week we get a back-office perspective of high performance sport with sports scientist Avish Sharma. Avish dials in from an altitude training camp in St Moritz, Switzerland where he’s been supporting our Australian athletes in their preparations for Paris. We talk about how hills, heat and altitude help optimise performance, but also the soft skills required for creating a positive training environment. In other words, it’s all about a holistic approach. As an example, Jess Hull has spoken about numerous factors that have led to her breaking the 2000m World Record (5:19.70) and becoming 5th fastest woman of all-time over 1500m (3:50.83). Avish Sharma is a Performance Scientist (Physiology) at the Victorian Institute of Sport in Australia, working in the Athletics program. Prior to this, he was physiology and research lead at Triathlon Australia (2018 to 2021). He completed his PhD in altitude training (training prescription and periodisation at altitude in elite runners) at the Australian Institute of Sport and University of Canberra, whilst also supporting the Athletics and Swimming programs based there. His interests include endurance physiology (particularly optimising training prescription), holistic success factors for world class athletes, developmental pathways for sport scientists, being a mediocre surfer, and eating noodles.
