sup guys raw sadly here athlete
adventurer you might remember me from
last year from strongman swimming those
who don't know this is when I attempted
to swim from Martinique to st. Lucia
pulling a hundred pound tree didn't
quite go to plans which is why this year
kind of feel I've got unfinished
business when it comes to all things
swimming is this one idea I've always
wanted to do that you're gonna like this
[Music]
I want to become the very first person
to swim all the way around the coast of
mainland Britain without ever touching
land when attempting such a historic
swim there are certain rules that must
be strictly adhered to the entire swim
is only complete when I pass the point
that I started out to certify that Great
Britain has been successfully
circumnavigated and of course I'll be
tracked recorded and measured on GPS
throughout the entire swim so how
exactly is this soon going to be
achieved well worth noting is many
people have tried no one has succeeded
so there really isn't a blueprint we
think it will be a hundred days of
swimming between 30 to 50 kilometres a
day now to put that into perspective
that's why swimming the English Channel
every single day for a hundred days I'll
be swimming day and night in six hour
intervals to work with the powerful
tides that exist all around the coast of
Great Britain we estimate that my
shoulders will endure 2.4 million
strokes to complete the entire swim I'll
be consuming over a million calories in
reality there's so many risks and things
that could go wrong all around the coast
that could bring an abrupt end to the
great british swim giant jellyfish don't
feelings can wail all of which might not
be friendly and if that's not enough
it's just been reported that there's a
great white shark surfing in the UK
saltwater exposure for a hundred days
what that can lead to is Salt mouth
where the tongue and the throat swells
up and even just abrasions of the skin
if we manage to do this we will break
multiple world records in the process
but before I do anything else I need to
go and see some experts ladies and
gentlemen this is Harrison and Ross
where they treat many elite athletes
myself first up tests I don't think I'm
gonna do all that well gentlemen how we
doing guys I'm gonna apologize in
advance I know you're gonna test me now
and you know I'm gonna be bad so what
we've got the boats we've got tests up
first haven't we
[Music]
ten seventies is that bad that's
terrible
it's just where you're at Ross it's just
wait a minute what's the record what's
the worse for that I think it was Ross
that you won right side
[Music]
what's happened now gone to town on my
back which was two of you and we think
obviously you thrice it's fine extension
of the back really really important
during summits and we think and ho
touchwood that I have more than 10
centimeters of mobility now my thoracic
spine is that you are magicians bless
you bless you
okay so what's happening right now
Darrin behind me to the Oh genius no
strength test but on the rotate to come
but was it I so country here's Madhu
Anne isokinetic test on you just to see
what's going on internal and external
rotation on those shoulders of yours
that's right gonna get strapped in and
like I said I don't I don't really know
but I man any sort strength test I tend
to get quite competitive yes again keep
going buddy
Doki Doki Doki Doki I relax oh okay
shoulder strength test done Darren what
the scores on the doors how was it
interesting some interesting scores so
not quite what we expected but that's
why we do these sorts of things
oh my jeff actually have it look at the
ellipsis Jeff Rossen and total work 30
percent down I'd be interested to have
that shoulder treated and do it again
this is the part I was not looking
forward to I thought I'd got away with
it and but I haven't so gonna go in
there now see Jeff who has some henge
forearms so I don't think he's gonna be
oh there he is but this size of his
forearms know what eyes are actually
watering
coupla needles and they move there we go
this is numb as well at the moment you
said do 20 minutes with Jeff or swim 100
days I'm like where's my goggles okay I
hope that that's improved my job we're
now gonna go and test it video out
Donna's gonna hook me up to the machine
again I'm gonna go hard on this cuz I
just to put that into perspective I had
a 30 percent deficit my left was 30
percent basically in a weaker and now my
left shoulder is actually stronger than
my right that's crazy
physio done that was brutal
I'm not gonna lie I feel like I've been
beaten up was really good though I think
one thing I'm going to take away from
this is the swimming is only a part of
it the prehab is going to play such a
key role in and even before I get in the
water I need to be working on shoulder
mobility shoulder strength Darren and
Jeff have given me so much homework to
do just about to go home go back to HQ
and start putting into practice
[Music]
Wow if I wasn't nervous before I'm
terrified now so much to do and just not
much time to do it I need to get back in
I need to get pregnant we are well and
truly at the business end of things
stocks been arriving all week which is
why I wanted to do this very quick video
just to show you the supplies and stocks
that you need just to get started and
outside the harbor come take a peek at
this okay that is all food like I said
not a hundred days worth we might have
to restock but this is certainly enough
to get me going I'm not gonna lie
caffeine is gonna be my best friend four
out of these hundred days lots of
different kinds of wetsuits you're not
just gonna have warm baths gonna have
loads of different pairs I'm not
constantly cold and try and like give
the body something a little bit
different wear so I don't suffer from
shaking so much dry roads probably my
best friend when it comes to the
combating hypothermia
prehab it's gonna be so important to
take care of the body for out the whole
swim this is gonna be one on lost long
before I get in the water
foam roller as well make sure I'm taking
care of the deep tissue of muscle
therapy and also most importantly these
from global telly sack communications to
make sure that I'm tracked all the way
round the GB Coast and you can track me
all around the coast of Great Britain
pretty important so there you have it
some of the supplies I need just to set
sail I'm gonna be at sea for a hundred
days and having spoke to any and every
expert I can find one thing that's clear
is no one really knows what's gonna
happen which is why I think it's so
important we've broadcast the great
British film to as many people as
possible along with the lessons we
learned along the way and what I'm gonna
be bringing you weekly vlogs on Red
Bulls YouTube channel Instagram Twitter
and Facebook so if you got any questions
or maybe you've got some tips on food
hydration coping with the cold or maybe
local sea knowledge whether that's
sailing or swimming
hit me up in the comments and make sure
you like and subscribe
ultimately this is gonna be a massive
team effort and I can't do this alone
I'm lost Edgley and this is the great
British swim
