Introduction

Hey, the name is spud, aka David Somerville.

I started this just for a bit of fun, nothing serious. I have been keeping a running journel since i was 16, every year except this year. I have been just running day by day week by week. I find if i over think things I can put myself under more pressure. This year isnt too break records but too get myself back into running, get the taste of racing and enjoy my running. Last year i dropped down to sprints it wasnt a move i wanted it just happened. During last year i lost the hunger for running. I used to eat sleep and drink running.. It got me nowhere but gave me a big head and i had huge expectations for myself. Through hard work and dedication i hope to really progress and start running pbs. Let me stress, no negative feedback is welcome

Im 20 years of age and i work full time as a barman for the year. I took the year off because i was sick of college from the year before. It was a badly organised course and very stressful. taking the year off wasnt a great idea but it has given me time to reflect on what matters. Friends,health,fun. Running is a big part of my life and when i run well everything seems to fall into piece.

I run for my local running club Tallaght Athletic Club and have ran for these since i was 11 or 12. I started taking it serious when i was around 15 or 16. I have possibly ran every distance growing up. I consider myself a middle distance runner. I train with a good group of lads im not going to name then but they know who they are. I have recently got a new coach and im slowly learning things. Over the course of the next few blogs u will find out how i train, why i train, who i train with, etc

As i get ready to hit some pbs this year on the track this will hopefully urge me on to train when i dont feel like or when im too tired.
Sure ill leave ya and love ya
Peace! Take her easy
