Blueprint: Build a Bulletproof Body for Extreme Adventure in 365 Days

Product Information

Each will require specific skills, personalised planning and individualised, intricate preparation. Therefore, it’s not possible to write a 365-day programme for everyone, since it would be far too generalised; the Law of Biological Individuality (we’re all more different than we are alike) means a training plan written for everyone is a training plan written for no-one.

Edgley has written four books: The World’s Fittest Book (2018), The Art of Resilience: Strategies for an Unbreakable Mind and Body (2020), Blueprint: Build a bulletproof body for extreme adventure in 365 days (2021) and The World’s Fittest Cookbook (2022). When people hear stories of great adventures, they so often only see the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Whether it’s pictures of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay standing heroically on the 29,035 ft summit of Everest, or stories of Roald Amundsen pioneering our exploration of the South Pole. So often we’re unaware of the hours of training, failures and injuries that had to happen for those expeditions to be successful.

Whether it’s climbing a mountain, swimming the English Channel, or a gruelling triathlon, Blueprint will teach you the tried and tested principles of sports science that have been used for decades by Olympians, explorers and adventurers at the limits of peak physical endurance.

Retrieved 31 January 2019.From the early years of the ancient Olympics, athletes have followed a very simple but logical method of training. Sometimes training for up to 10 months before the Olympics, they would prepare, compete, relax, recover and repeat. ² This is periodisation in its most basic form as the athlete follows training phases (now called Preparatory, Competitive and Transition phases).

What I learnt from climbing a rope repeatedly until I'd scaled the height of Everest". GQ. 28 April 2016 . Retrieved 24 February 2020. The National Strength and Conditioning Association [a worldwide authority that informs and supports exercise professionals] believes that long-slow distance running or swimming is a great way to “increase the athlete’s tolerance for more intense training”.On 23 September 2022, Edgley undertook a charity swim in Loch Ness, Scotland. [19] Known for being the largest lake (by volume) in the UK, the water temperature rarely reaches above 5°C (41°F). Which is why, in preparation for the extreme endurance event and to counteract the cold effect of continual immersion in water, he gained 10 kilos of weight by consuming 10,000 calories a day. [20] After completing the swim in Margate on 4 November 2018, the World Open Water Swimming Association announced it as the World Swim of the Year 2018 and it became officially recognised as "The World's Longest Staged Sea Swim." [17] Talking about his historic swim Edgley said, "It's my hope that people remember the Great British Swim as an example or experiment in both mental and physical fortitude." [18] Length of the English Channel (2018) [ edit ] The focus is to create an “athletic base” with a high volume of training at a low intensity, while also improving work capacity (the body’s ability to perform and positively tolerate training of a given intensity or duration). Each mesocycle then targets a specific fitness component to improve (strength, speed, skill or stamina) and is often (logically) divided into autumn, winter, spring and summer.

A super insightful book full of brilliant personal accounts, and complex science presented in a super digestible way on a topic I am interested in but know (or knew) almost nothing about. How do athletes get ready for an event? And how do people prepare their minds and bodies for seemingly superhuman feats of adventure. The focus is on “active recovery”, where both the volume and the intensity of training are kept low, allowing the mind and body time to rest. This partly explains why we Homo sapiens migrated from Africa over 50,000 years ago and then continued to colonise the entire world some 20,000 years ago. Scientists believe our wanderlust gene-carrying ancestors were the ones who pioneered this exploration of our planet as they climbed mountains, crossed oceans and had dreams of exploring beyond the horizon.Fitzgerald, Quinn (1 January 2019).

Thankfully, before the sun began to set, I managed to drag the last (and most reluctant) reindeer into its enclosure. Bruised and battered from being ‘dry humped’ by a herd of reindeer, I then walked over to the chief of our brigade for further instructions.
