Jason Smyth's Paralympics blog: Managing life with training

Jason Smyth (28), a visually impaired sprinter from Derry, is officially the ‘fastest Paralympian on the planet.’ He will be writing a monthly blog in the build-up to the 2016 Paralympic Games.

SINCE last month I have been training, raced twice, moved back to Derry after two and a half years in London and had a family wedding when my sister got married in Donegal.

We came straight back here from a training camp in Florida. We had been living in a one-bedroom place in Tottenham and, for us, it wasn’t the place to be bringing up a kid, but, a huge part too, was also the cost. London is crazy expensive.
