Russell was coached by Albert Johnson, during is great career he was third place in the Australian Marathon titles in 1989 ( second fastest Tasmanian all time) and represented Australia at the World Marathon cup in 1991. If all this wasn't enough Russell went on to win the Melbourne Marathon. 

These days Russell lives in Hobart and is quite fond of the odd glass of Guinness at his local pub, he is one of the best blokes you will meet. We will be discussing his training, the races he won and about his talented kids who are great musicians in their own right.
