Film Friday – I Trained Like an Olympic Sprinter for 30 Days (Andrew)
Film Friday is a weekly recommendation of one video to watch this weekend.
If you want to run faster then you need to run faster, that’s what I’ve been told. You can’t training to run faster by running the same speed you always go. You have to run faster to run faster. Except…. you don’t. Or at least you don’t most of the time.
Watch this video to understand what it actually means to train like an Olympic sprinter and learn how much of that training is training to train and not sprinting faster.

Film Friday is a weekly recommendation of one video to watch this weekend.
Sometimes you don’t have to see any more than the thumbnail to now what happens next. 3000 squats in a month. 100 a day. What could happen? The photo on the right might give it away…
Film Friday – Storror (Iain)
Film Friday is a weekly recommendation of one video to watch this weekend.
I’m not sure if the folk in this video should be applauded for their parkour/climbing skill, or whether they should be locked up for attempting to get out of such a dingy horrible pit.
Make up your own mind…
It is much harder to do than you might think….

Outdoor Swim Review: Elie Beach – Winter 2022 (Iain)
Elie is a popular destination on the East Neuk of Fife. Its the sort of place men wear red trousers and think they look cool. Check out https://www.thegentlemansjournal.com/the-problem-with-men-in-red-trousers/ and http://lookatmyfuckingredtrousers.blogspot.com/ to learn more about this fashion faux pas.
I swim at Elie beach whenever i visit. The sea can be a little bit choppy if the wind is strong. But Earlsferry beach and Shell bay beach are very close by. When one beach is choppy, one of the others will be calm. Just pick and choose the one that matches the sea conditions you are comfortable with.
It was a beautiful day when I visited. The sea was cold (5C) so I didn’t go in for long but it was nice to have quick dip.
If you plan to swim here check the tide table https://tides.willyweather.co.uk/ta/fife/elie.html its a much nicer swim when the tide is high than low.
Ease of Access: The beach is easily accesible from anywhere in Elie. But be warned. The town (and parking) can be very busy on a nice day.
Water quality: I prefer it when its a high tide.
Swim Quality: Good. Swim from the pier to the beach if you fancy an interesting challenge.
Other People: It can be very, very busy.
Would I go back: Yes. I go there on holiday allot so I’ll be back later in the year.
Film Friday – Can an Average Guy Beat the US Olympic Curling Team (Iain)
Film Friday is a weekly recommendation of one video to watch this weekend.
GQ has a series of videos called Above Average Joe where they takes on the challenge of trying to perform like a professional sportsman.
Spoiler – It turns out professional sport men and women are actually really good at what they do and an average Joe can’t compete with them. But its fun to watch him try…
Film Friday – Travelling Blind (Iain)
Film Friday is a weekly recommendation of one video to watch this weekend.
“Amar Latif was told, aged four, that he would be blind by the time he was 18. However, his lack of sight hasn’t prevented him from experiencing the world. henever Amar travels he relies on someone sighted to guide him. In return he opens their eyes and all their senses to a completely different way of travelling.
Amar is joined by comedian Sara Pascoe as he attempts to open her eyes to the potential of travelling blind and ‘seeing’ the world differently.”
This is a great show in which you can’t help but warm to both of them as they learn about the world through their time together.
