UNSEEN FOOTAGE: OUT NOW! NEW: 510km WORLD RECORD Non-Stop Swim (Yukon River) documentary on my YouTube channel (see link here: https://youtu.be/IcBh4lihB5c) 🎥 How far can a human swim non-stop? No sleep, no rest and no touching land. On June 16, 2024, we wanted to find out and embarked on a 510km (317 mile) non-stop swim down the Yukon River (Canada) in water temperatures as low as 8°C (46.4°F). Now ratified as an Official Guinness World Record, the entire adventure was only made possible by the heroics of the team who protected me from bears, wolves and hypothermia and navigated me through rapids, currents and log jams. One of the greatest crews ever assembled, I hope you enjoy this documentary that was 100% directed, filmed AND edited entirely by James Perrett who was 1 of these 16 HEROES: Christopher J Morgan, Ger Kennedy and Thomas Walter Kofler, Larry Bonnett, Brian Earl, Liam Parfitt, Stan Fordyce, Scott Edgley, Hester Sabery, Dr Tom Hall, Stephen O’Brien, Eric Bonnett, John Robertson, Raymond Kmyta, Shannon Kmyta and Sherrie Earl.

No.1 lesson from 510km (317 mile) non-stop swim film (see link: https://youtu.be/JDXmA3iwvpY) = eudaemonia (share, like and tag). Whilst I’m still figuring this out myself, Aristotle’s definition of it focuses on the “pursuit of virtue, excellence, and the best within us” (Huta & Waterman, 2014; pp. 1426). He believed that happiness came from living a life aligned with virtues (Hursthouse, 1999). He presented these ideas in Nichomachean Ethics (one of his best known books), where he describes how to achieve eudaimonia: “A life of eudaimonia is a life of striving. It’s a life of pushing yourself to your limits, and finding success. A eudaimonistic life will be full of the happiness that comes from achieving something really difficult, rather than just having it handed to you.”

MOST BRUTAL SET! It was the day after our 30km aerobic session and consisted of 10 x 150m of best average (with bonus 50m sprints at the end). WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/zhZzRF5GiAk
What this means is you are expected to hold the best time possible for the number of repeats on the given interval. “Pace on a best average set should be faster than when you swim threshold (usually about 80%-85% of your maximum effort), but not as fast as sprint pace. Your goal on a set like this is not to go as fast as you can on number 1 and be dead for the next 5. Your goal should be to hold the fastest you can but hold close to the same time for each repetition of the set on the given interval.” You’re basically swimming in lactic the entire time as Coach Quigley's try to add some "gears" to my swimming speeds now we're 4 weeks out from our first BIG SWIM of 2024!

Unseen footage of the 5 WORST injuries I’ve had in pursuit of the #WorldsLongestSwim(s)! Link here: https://youtu.be/-CrcsOUEpF0 WARNING: A little graphic in places, but hope this helps to educate others on conditions like hypothermia, hyperthermia and cellulitis so you don't have to experience it. Also contains blood work analysis from the medical team who looked after me when we attempted an ultra marathon swim in a 48°C (118.4°F) heatwave that hit Lake Trasimeno that meant my creatine kinase levels almost hit 20,000 😬

BOOM! New VIDEO £10,000 garage gym (see link: https://youtu.be/aCIpOHdSJ4E?si=W8up3...) Equipped with everything I need as a long-distance swimmer, this will serves as the HQ for the #WorldsLongestSwim (which is either a good idea or a terrible one, haha)! Yes, (granted) it doesn’t look like much, but I love it and (weirdly) enjoy the solitude of training alone getting all ‘snug’ in the “pain cave”. We’ll be filming some BRUTAL workouts as part of the #WorldsLongestSwim series so let us know in the comments what you want to see. Swim erg? Shoulder pre-hab? Anaerobic conditioning? 1RM pull-up? 🎥 by brobarian @jamesdperrett @perrettco
