About — Runner's Blueprint

Meet David Dack:

I’m David Dack, the driving force behind The Runners Blueprint Blog since its inception in 2014. With a profound passion for running and fitness, I’ve cultivated this platform into a go-to resource for runners of all levels. My commitment to sharing valuable insights on training, motivation, nutrition, and more is aimed at helping you achieve your fitness goals and lead a healthier, more vibrant life. Leave us a little info, and we’ll be in touch.

In a nutshell, I’m your average runner who is full of encouragement, motivation, running stories, and a lot of (both solicited and unsolicited) beginner fitness advice. My favorite distance is a half-marathon, but I also enjoy trail runs, 5Ks on the track, fun runs, and everything in between.

I’ve been running regularly since 2007 and ran my first race in 2009. I was never interested in running growing up, but around my early 20’s, I started running in the morning before going to school to lose some weight and get in shape. That’s when I got hooked. My passion for the miles became a daily obsession that guided me toward creating this blog—one of the fastest-growing blogs in the running blogosphere.

This blog was launched in early 2014 as a venue for me to share my thoughts on my running and fitness journey. And over the past six years, I’ve helped thousands of people start running and achieve their running goals. As you may already know, running is about so much more than putting one foot in front of the other. You also need to learn how to choose your gear, prevent injury, run with others, train for a race, eat well, and so much more.

From what I can tell, you’re not making a living from running and devoting all of your time to training and learning about the latest exercise science. Ain’t nobody got time for that. But I actually DO, That’s why I’m here.

By using my blog, you can spend less time scouring the interwebs and more time doing the only thing that can help you achieve your training goals: running. Aside from running and fitness, my greatest passion for Ikan Satay (a form of Indonesian food, check the picture). I had an obsession with it the first time I started traveling to Indonesia a few years ago.

I currently live on the heavenly island of Bali.

My Goals :

If you want to learn how to run further, faster, and with fewer injuries (or none at all), then my blog has you covered.

In my posts, I’m sharing my story, running tips, workout routines, physiology science, sports psychology, and nutritious recipes—all of which help my readers:

Start running and actually stick with it.
Prevent common running pains and injuries.

Making better diet choices.
And most importantly, enjoy every step of the journey.

In-depth guides on what gear you need, training injuries, cross-training, racing—every aspect of running.
Product reviews of my favorite gadgets.
Strength training workouts for runners—and a lot of them as I’m a big fan of picking up heavy things then putting them down.
And so much, so much, more.

My purpose here is to come up with the most comprehensive running-related content you can find.

Hopefully, one day I’ll be able to turn Runners Blueprint into the best running blog out there.
