🏃 One for the weekend warriors and tradies! 🔌⚡
🇦🇺 He was a heartbreaking seven seconds off a medal in the marathon … but Aussie athlete Liam Adams ran a season best 2:13:23 and says he's proud of his effort to finish fourth at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. 💚💛
"It's tough but I'll take that. I'm pretty proud of that run. Those guys are professionals, I'm amateur. I'm working 40 hour weeks, they're not. They're probably running 40 hour weeks … I'm a sparky," Adams said. 🔌⚡
"I've been doing soldering recently. It's pretty labouring on the body. I'm not doing double runs like those guys, I'm getting out there after work. Sometimes I just have to go have a nap and then I'm going for a run after work and still out at 10 o'clock at night, eating dinner late. It's a pretty shocking cycle that I've got."
"Hopefully all the weekend warriors, anyone working 9-5 who's battling with the work-running type of lifestyle, hopefully they can look at that and find some inspiration. If I can do it, then they can do it too."
