Liam Malone may be retired from para-sprinting but he's not finished with running.
The "Kiwi Bladerunner" announced his shock retirement yesterday but told 1 NEWS today that doesn't mean he's lost his competitive drive.
"I'm going to keep running because I don't want to get fat," he said.
"The idea of an Ironman interests me, probably not at this age but down the line. Climbing and mountaineering looks fun - there's lots of things that look fun but it's just committing to something."
The double Paralympic gold medallist says a travel, new rules and curiosity all helped him make his decision.
The Kiwi Paralympic gold-medallist gave an emotional interview to TVNZ1's Sunday.
He's now a household name, but Martin Tasker caught up with the sprint ace long before he was famous.
Malone has left sprinting to take up a corporate job at Soul Machine.
