He wasn't shellfish, and he didn't become a chowderhead, unlike like alot of today's runners.
Natural speed from an early age as a schoolboy in Sunderland earned him his nickname of theJallop Scallop. Perhaps his finest moment was his world record in the Bream Mile in 85. Many thought he could emulate the great Peter Shell and perform the double in Sole 88, but he just wasn't in a happy plaice there and retired soon after due to recurring mussel problems.

This thread is amazing!
I asked him once. His skin got clammy and he like totally clammed up. He has not come out of his shell around me since and has clamped down on his silence.

I started laughing before I even opened the thread because I knew exactly where it was going after reading the title. And the LetsRun community did not disappoint!

You seem to know quite a bit about this ? How did clam juice?
At first he wasn’t interested in athletics but after his first run he was hooked.
Steve Clam's warmup music included Hootie & The Blowfish and Pearl Jam.
The sauce...

He had big mussels
It all started on the shores of whales island in the fall of 1960, a young crustacean by the name of Steve clam washed up onto the bay and begin a shellfish pursuit of athletic greatness. He rose above the tide of salty scalawags who tried to dredge him down. His ability to leave whaling foes in his wake, floundering across the track while Clam breezed by! The “Jarrow arrowhead shark” had the ability to avoid pier-pressure which led to an undulating jet stream of medals.
He’s a swell guy. Some say he’s washed up but he’ll announce his comeback.
E-fish-n-sea.

and you may also inquire with these lesser known milers: Jeff Sees, Grant Fisher, Taylor Gilland, Colby Gilbert, or any miler from the Ocean State Track Club.
And I wouldn't ask Joe Falcon.
Talent, training, ambition, outstanding race sense, and a willingness to throw it down and respond in the moment.
