I am BOLT

So it was released on 28th November - I am still yet to find it scheduled at a cinema, but I am waiting!!

I am inspired by Usain and everything he has done for running and athletics. 
I admire his charismatic nature and the fact he is always striving to better himself and to inspire others.



I hope to see this one over the holiday season!


Usain Bolt is a globally adored icon. He is a man who defines athletics, transcends sport and embodies his homeland, a man whose signature lightning pose has become a symbol of inspiration for generations now and to come. He is a man we know from the track - his focus, his smile, his winning and now I Am Bolt lets us see the real man behind the Triple Treble Olympic Gold Medals for the very first time. Usain shares unprecedented access to himself, welcoming us into his life as an Olympic & sporting legend, best friend, teammate and son. Experience first-hand & close up what being Usain Bolt is really like - from his grueling training days with his incredible coach and sprint team, to competing on the global stage, much of which was shot by Usain himself. See how he overcomes major setbacks and challenges along the way and discover how he spends his downtime and relaxes with his true inner circle, friends and family, allowing the directors unprecedented access into all facets of his life, both on and off the track. Hear from those closest to him - his parents, his agent, his coach, his fellow athletes and of course from the legend himself. This is the real Usain - as you have never seen before. Raw, revealing, joyful and inspiring.

More inspiration

Matt and I recently watched the 2015 Finding the Fittest Male and Female on Earth! These athletes are amazing, their agility, their strength, their determination. 



They swim, lift weights, run, do hand stand walks, body weight exercises, jump, hurdles and so much more. Each athlete has a judge to ensure perfect technique so there is no compromise and less injury. 

Yes it is the Reebok Cross Fit games, we watched the 2015. The winner had been training for 7 years, just chipping away at regular goals. It is available on Netfix and I highly recommend it. 

Happy Running
