Runuary 10 Mile Ambassador Liam Glynn

Name

Liam Glynn 

Which Runuary Challenge are you taking on?

Looking forward to taking on the Runuary 10 mile challenge on January 31st.

Why did you sign up?

To help motivate both myself and every other casual runner in these hard and strange times.

Why did you get into running?

I started running 6 years ago simply to keep fit. I started out doing 5k training with Maurice Looby Fitness and then got the bug. I've 9 marathons now completed with 3hours 14mins my PB in Dublin in 2019. Hoping to build on this in 2021 so Runuary is perfect to getting the year started off on the right foot.

What motivates you to go out and train on those days where motivation can be lacking?

The feeling you get after a run. Some call it 'Runners Rush', your head is clear and you feel like you've left all of your worries out on the road.The hardest part is to put on the runners and goout, but once you get out you won't regret it.

What are your favourite treats or rewards after a hard session?

Pizza!!

What is the one thing you can’t run without?

My Garmin Vivoactive 4. It's the best investment I made on running gear. It's great for keeping track of my progress. The beauty of running is that you're only really competing with yourself and I find it really motivating to see the progress I'm making.

Tell us a fun fact about yourself?

I appeared on First Dates Ireland in March 2020.
