• 9:39
  Speaker 2: moving all the furniture around, moving chairs, moving tables. Get

• 9:49
  Speaker 2: take a little journey through the next stage of your.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Physical training or whatever.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: You were perhaps a little bit what can I say,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: a bit daunted by the gym, but you got into
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: it and you got to feel comfortable and then you
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: start working out. And then is that when people suggested
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: strong women competition or did you know Alistair before and
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: you thought, oh, there's something I might like to try it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: No, I didn't. I didn't know Alistair at the time,
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: and it was basically at the beginning of my training,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: it was just strength training to lose weight for our
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: up and coming wedding at the time, and then after
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: the wedding I worked towards that and then there was
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: nothing then to work towards.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Again picked out you needed another Yeah, it.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Was like another challenge. I suppose and Ross and Jason
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: at Sweatbox they're already strong strong men as well, and
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: they compete, have competed in it, and Josh was training
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: in it at the time as well, so I thought, oh,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: I'll just give it a go. And yeah, it looked
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: it looked fun and it is fun.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: It looked fun to me on the.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: And so the events themselves, I mean, can you actually train,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: do you know what's coming for the events? Have you
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: got the equipment in the gym that can replicate what
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: they do on the competition day?
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah? So Sweatbox Training and Folks is actually a strong
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: man gym, so they have so much equipment there, which
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: is really helpful for my training, especially when when you're
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: training for these competitions. Right, So, yeah, you can get
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: your hands on all the strong man kit and practice
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: before you go. Right.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: So, Josh, coming over to you, when you go to
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: the gym, do you try this strong man stuff or
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: do you kind of do your own thing?
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah? We do it together, do you?
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: So you if you're like you're kind of apart from
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: being best husband, you're a bit of a personal coach.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: You're the one that gives her a kick out of
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: the back.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, pressure. She's got our personal trainer as well,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: but yeah that's online, so I'm there to pressure in person.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: So competition, so you've got all this equipment to train
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: in the gym. Do you know what's coming up in
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: the competition?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: That? Does you know?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: On competition? They could it be different or yeah, did
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: they tell you beforehand? This is what's coming up?
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: So when you when you sign up to these competitions,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: you get a list of what what's going to be
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: there so you can then.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, so how many disciplines are there? In strong
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: strong men or about the strong strong women?
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: So there's usually five categories, some some competitions are slightly
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: different and that that's that's what I like about it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's focus on Alistairs competition. You knew what was
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: coming up, so describe. I mean, I've seen the video
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: of you on the day, which was brilliant.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I loved it. It was really good.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: So what do to you, Josh for taking that? But
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: there are some strange bits of equipment they got names,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: so you knew what was coming up, right, discipline number one.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: What was that?
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: That was axel deadlift?
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Axleed dead.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: It's just like picking up a weight and lifting it
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: above a.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Certain It's an axle bar on the floor loaded with
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: weight and you do a dead lift and so you
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: basically hold it and to stand up with it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: So do you do it over a period of time?
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: You don't just do one like, No, it's as many
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: reps in sixty seconds.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Sixty seconds with a.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Judge, with a judge giving you a downpour, So you
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: can't just bounce it. I think on that one it
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: had to stay on the floor and then they's say
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: put it up.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll see the judges looking closely.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: And the axle is a lot thicker bar than the
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: normal Olympic bar, so it's harder to grip.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So as many as you can in sixty seconds. Yeah,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and do you move straight onto the next discipline?
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: No, So everyone has to complete that that particular move first.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: I think Alistair had quite a lot of people there,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: There was a hundreds.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: So yeah, obviously there's different categories, but yes, yes, then
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: once everyone's completed that they move on to the next event.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: They've got to set it up.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: So how I mean, if there's one hundred people, did
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: they do three at a time, like three sets of judges?
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: I think there was six six time.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeh we's got loads of different judges.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they call you out yeah right, yeah.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, So so if you're first, you get it out
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: of the way, then you might have a long wait
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: anyway because there's all the others got to go on.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, okay, So next event number two was next?
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Was it the loading medley?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Loading medley?
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: No, I'm getting an it doesn't matter.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Just remind us because.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: There was a slight because it rained on the day.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: So we were supposed to do the god.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: In a gym or anything outside.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Ok yeah, because we were supposed to do the carpool
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: at some time, but the grass was still wet, So
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: we did that later, didn't we the carpool?
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Well that separately.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's talk about the carpool?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: So what it sounds obvious?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: And have you seen it on the on the strong
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Man competitions where they're pulling a lottery and the h
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: you didn't pull one of those days?
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: No, it was a minibus though, was it?
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, I'm not I'm.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Not sure, but I think it was two tons, was it? Yeah?
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Do you actually pull it from a dead lift zero?
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you're in a harness and yeah,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: you just have to pull it a certain distance and
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: you have sixty seconds to get to this distance.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Oh I see, yeah yeah, so if you get sixty
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: if you get there in sixty seconds, you get your
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: maximum points. Yeah, okay, so that's two events, three more
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: to go.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah. The other one was the yolk carry and the
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: duck walk the duk.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right now, to the uninitiated like myself and half
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: a folkuston tell us about the duck walk.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: So it's it's basically some bumper play. It's loaded onto
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: a handle and you just have to walk or run
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: as fast as you can. But it's very very awkward
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: and you end up running like a.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: D oh dear. And so the distance havew far you've
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: got to go? Is it like one long distance or
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: you got up and down?
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: So this one I think was with the yolk carry.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: So we had to carry a yoke which is something
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: over your bah and you have to carry that for
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: ten meters then bring the duck duck walk back. Then
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: you have to run back to get the yoke, bring
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: that back, and then bring the duck walk. Yeah, sound tough,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: and I think you had sixty seconds to do that
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Done.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so that's free down. We got two more
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: to go. There was a mystery event.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, so the mystery event you don't actually get to know,
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: so you can train for all the other four events,
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: but the mystery event you don't know till the night before.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: So this one was a loading event, and that was
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: a sound bag onto a platform and you had to
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: get as many reps as you can again in sixty seconds.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, so sandbag what from the floor onto the platform
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: and they're back onto the floor.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Back to the floor and as many but you you
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: have to have your hands off, hands off the top
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: at the top to get to get the rep.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Right, So you take it, you grab it, you put
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: it on a table. I suppose you've got to take
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: your hands off, yeah, put your hands back on and
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: put it back on the floor. Rightah, once again a minute.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: So it's also seems everything focuses around this minute.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Normally normally sixty seconds ye, or it would be
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: long longest distance. Yeah.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Right, So that was the mystery event, wasn't it?
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: That was the mystery event.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: We've got one one lift to do.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Can you remember it?
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: No, my mind's gone blank, is it?
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Okay? I'll tell you what we do.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Then we play another bit of bit of music and
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: we have a little chat or fear and I expectrum
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: before put all the furniture back into place it before
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: she moved it last time. And then we work out
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: and come back to what the fifth event was. So
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: this is another song. Do you like training into this one?
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: This is a bit of a.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Bruce Yes, I love this one.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, Well this is for bef and well
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: we'll dedicate this one to everyone at Euratana if you're
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: listening in and of course the sweatbooks. And this is
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Dancing in the Dark Bruce Springsteen. There go Bruce Springsteen
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty four.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And best being umping.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I'm pumping and I don't know I'm trying to move
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: off Ucheria.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: It's okay.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, of the mind went blank, but as soon
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: as we had a little chat, boom, it came straight
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: back to us.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: So the mystery event, what's that one called? Then?
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: This one wasn't the mystery event event?
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: It's the mystery to me because.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: It was a hoosafel carry for max max distance hooseil.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Was it a chap that invented it or something or
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: don't you know, I don't expect you to know that either,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: but so describe what it is.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: So it's a it's a big sandbag and you have
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: to carry it in your arms for max distance. So
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: you're just walking backwards and forwards for ten meters and
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: you have sixty seconds again to see how.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Far how far you can go and go yeah yeah, right, okay,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: And now the logistics of I mean to me, I
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: thought it was just a little a little get together
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: of a few strong people. But you said there was
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: one hundred people.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was over one hundred.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So they travel in they must travel in
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: from far and yeah yeah, all right.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Now that's another point. Now grading, there's obviously different types
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: of grading.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: How does that work?
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: There is it's usually a weight category and then you
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: get a experienced cat so you can get novice, beginner's
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: novice intermediate, and then so on and so on.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Right, okay, so that that makes it fair that you're
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: competing against people about about the same.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Experience or strength as other people.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: So you're against people that are a similar similar to you.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So you've done two competitions, both down at.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Pale Marsh, Yeah, both down at Powers.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: You tell me that you've got a third one coming.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Up, Yes, got a third one in August, and that's
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: Hampshire's Hampshire.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: So that is that that's a different level.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is still novice so because I've gone upper
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: category this year, so I'm in a novice category.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so have you you've actually entered it?
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Yep entered right?
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: And so do you know the four events? Is this
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: mystery event? Is that sort of common throughout the whole No.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I think that's just the he hosts twists. So Ali
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: has that twist on his events, but you don't get
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: that everywhere you go.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: No, So do you know what five events?
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: You've got to know what five events?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: So we've spoken about four of them, so there must
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: be one more. Uh, that's because you've got had a
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: mystery event. What's the extra event?
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: For for the for the Confidence, for the Hampshire. I
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: know all of them from because they don't have a
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: mystery event on.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: This side, so they tell us what they are so
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I've got.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Axel clean and press, so that's a bit different to
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: the lift. It's the same bar, but the weight is
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: going over my head.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: It's a bit more of a power lift.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's a timed, timed one as well. Then
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: I've got a deficit axle dead lift, so that means
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: that my feet are raised off the floor. And then
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: I've got a dead lift the bar, so it's it's
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: slightly harder. I've got a shield carry so some of
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: these I haven't even done, so it's it's new to
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: me as well. I've got duck walks again into power
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: stairs and another a stone challenge that's loading some stones
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: onto a platform. Again, so that's that one I have
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: done because that's so to Alie's one.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: So I mean, is the equipment for all these events available?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I put sweatbox?
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, most of them. Yeah, actually all of them.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: We have got sweatbox.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: So you keep an eye on beffin her training. Would
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: you say there's any particular event that you need to
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: work on. I mean, to all sports, you kind of
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: got your you're elite, not your elite, but you're you're
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: comfortable with and others you might struggle with So can
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: you advise advise before does she just tell you shut up?
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she tells me to shut up all the time, so.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: That you're not my trainer.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Exactly what she said.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: What's it like living with a strong woman in?
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I mean doing all the jobs around the house, Like
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, if there's any patio slabs to be moved,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: you go get bed to.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Do help me do everything.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just want to change your will? Could you
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: hold the car up for a little so, haven't you?
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I mean that apart from the venue and everything else,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: that's going to be a little bit out of your
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: comfort zone. And because you know, I know Alistair is
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: very sort of cozy to everybody. But do you know
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: of anybody else that's going down there or will you
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: be sort of totally on your own?
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'm my personal trainer now Sam Grove, he's

  Speaker 2: Yet now just on the sort of a technical sort
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: of thing, so you're now into your competitions, so as
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: as your lifestyle change, like your diet and what you watch,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: what you eat.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: And you know that sort of thing.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really it's obviously really important to as well
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: as training is to get the rest. The rest is
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: so important as well, and eating wise. I think everyone
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: that knows me will know how much I go on
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: about protein. So yeah, eating protein, but then and still
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: enjoying treats. As as we said, we went on holiday
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: and we had loads of past the loads of pizza.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: So it's everything in moderation.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah take up lifting there.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, if you want to do well,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: you don't have to win trophies, but for your own discipline,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: then you've you've got put yourself into it, haven't you.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I used to play football and
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I've run.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I've run three marathons, right, and training for a marathon
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: is like six months out of your life.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: So but and.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: For me personally, when I was training for a marathon,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter how hard I trained, I was never going
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: to get any faster. But I just add the first
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: marathon I ever did back in the eighties, I felt
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: like Superman. I felt like I could run through.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: A brick wall. I really did. I just boosted up
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: my confidence so much, which is my Does that do
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: it for you? You kind of got more self esteem?
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Oh? Definitely. Yeah, it's the gym in general. It's not
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: just the strong woman part of it. It just gives
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: you that confidence and the resilience as well.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Great, okay, so time for a bit of music again.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Now this is going to we've got to chill things
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: down a bit, not going to play any pumping, but
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: we want to sit quietly through this one. But I
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: do love this song, well I did. Actually I put
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the word lifted in the in the playlist and this
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: one come up. It's a lovely, soft little song from
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety five. It's the Lighthouse Family and lifted.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I love Lighthouse Family. I don't
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: think this radio station plays him enough. And I'm going
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: to make a little, a little concerted effort to play
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: some more Lighthouse Family.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, Now we were talking off here and they josh,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: you you've got well, I didn't realize you've got quite
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: a sporting experienced background.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: So tell us briefly about that.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: But then we were going to turn attentions to the
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: technique and perhaps the misconceptions of strong women.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: So tell us you were at the sports center for
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: a long time.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I left school at fifteen or sixteen, and
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: then I was at the sports center for nine years.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: At first I was just giving out equipment and setting
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: up equipment like trampolines and that, and then I got
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: an apprenticeship to be a sports coach leader and I
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: did that for two years and we went out to
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: primary schools and delivered sports sessions. That was really fun. Yeah,
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: And are you.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Saying that I've just got to remind everybody that I've
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: got another job. You're saying about me being retired and
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: taking it easy, Well, there there's no chance for that.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I think it's on Wednesday or Thursday.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: You've got to check the diary. I've got to compare
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: the district sports down at the Three Hills Running Track.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: This must be about the fifth or sixth year I've
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: done it. But for like two hours it is crazy.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: There's like three hundred children and they come from all
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: over the district, you know, and it's trying to get back,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: get back, you know, they're stepping onto the track when
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: the runners are coming around to ben. Oh, but it
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: is so much fun that I do love it anyway,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: So digressing as normal. So the point we were talking
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: about off there is a very good point you wanted
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: to make, Josh, is about the misconceptions of strong women.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Competitions have gone.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the difference between strong women or strong man to
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: a bodybuilding is a strong man or strong women were
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: just they're trying to get the weight from A to
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: B as quickly as possible, and bodybuilding is more keeping
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: the muscle under tension and contracting it slowly so it
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: can grow. So that that's why I would say the difference.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Is because I've known Beth a long time and when
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I expected it to come in, I expected her to
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: be rippling with muscles. But you're no different to what
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I remember you as I work with Beth and Josh
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: for many years at your tunnel and we all wear
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: big bagger uniforms and stuff. But you know exactly as
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: what I was had this picture in my mind. Oh
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: my dear goodness, when when Beth comes in, she's going
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: to be like about four foot wide now and bulging
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: with muscles. But so obviously your pizek has changed because
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: you wanted to lose weight for your wedding. But would
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: you agree with with Josh there that the misconception about
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: this strong women, because I must admit I just didn't
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: imagine you being in a strong woman competition.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is this is what people get wrong about
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: strong man or strong women. People often think it's just
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: about being big and lifting heavy things, but it's actually
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: about technique, determination and consistency as well.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so, but obviously there's a lot of dedication
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: got to go into it. So right, you've just come
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: back a holiday, you've got I mean we're being to
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: July in a couple of days time, you've got a competition.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: When's it in August? When the end of August? So
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: do you start into training gently building up again.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: No, I'll just go straight straight back in, straight back
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: in on Monday.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, right.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Now, we really don't want to go and leave the
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: show without if there's any hellos and thank you, And
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I think it's really important because you've.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Both come in. You've come in as a team to
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: be fair and I love that.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: And this is community radio, and this is the first time,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: to be honest, I'll picking myself up there. It might
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: be the second time because I've had alistair in before
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: talking about his competition, but I've never never spoke about
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: a strong woman competition, so this has been the first
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: for me. It's community radio. We're sharing this story with
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: all the folks then, and I just want to thank
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: you both for coming in. But behind every team and
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: your things you do, you work out, there's got to
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: be people behind the scenes that you couldn't do without.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: So who comes into that category, Well, I.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Think the biggest person is sitting right next do you.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: So a big shout out to Josh for the help
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: in the training as well. Yeah, and the gym that
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: we train out because if we didn't have sweatbox training
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: and all the strong strong man kit and stuff to
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: get out where would where would we go to get
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: our hands on that? So a big shout out to
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Sweatbox and Ross and Jason that run run Sweatbox and
• 31:24

• 31:32
  Speaker 1: people at work here a tunnel? Do they do you?
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Kind of.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: When I was running marathons, I was a marathon boar,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: you know, to tell everyone, Oh, I did fifteen miles
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: last night, I did twenty miles And do.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: You do that? Oruld you kind of keep it in
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: here and I don't.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: I don't really say much, but when when I do
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: say the odd thing, people do sort of look at
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: me a bit like you really.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Great?
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Right, So we're gonna We've got one more song for
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: the moment. This time is running away with us. Then
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I want to do one little read out that I
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: think is very important. I should do it today and
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: you'll find out in a minute. And then we're going
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: to come back to Bef and Josh. So this is
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: another song about being strong. There's another gentle song. This
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: is labby Siffrey. Something Inside So Strong, Okay, we're going
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: to cut that one shot. That's a long song. Actually
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: it's the nearly five minutes, and back in the sixties
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: that would have been about three songs. Anyway, I want
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: to do this and it's poignant for today actually, so yeah,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: to bear with me, I'm going to be a bit
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: of a presenter bore at the moment. But on Monday,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: the twenty ninth of June, I'll be reaching a milestone
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: in my life, my seventy fifth birthday.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: So I thought, what can I do?
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: How about raising money for prostate cancer? I thought, now,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I've done my bit for Cancer Research UK and breast
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: cancer now, so I decided to promote a prostate cancer.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not climbing Everest, running an ultra, jumping out of
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: a plane or anything like that. I'm just having a
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: milestone birthday and this is me, Kevin Day, having my
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: milestone birthday on Monday. Then I thought, you know what,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Over the last twenty five years, I've promoted Race for
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Life on stage, I've promoted loads of charities, interviewed hundreds
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: of fundraising guests on my radio folks on sports show,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: being a quiz master, an endless amount of quizes for
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: charity all for other people, so I thought it's my
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: turn to do some fundraising for a good cause. I've
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: also compared hundreds of road races for running clubs promoting
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: their causes. If ever, you've been one of those people
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: that I've helped called in at a race, then all
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I'm asking for is a small donation as a birthday present,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: and it will go straight to the Prostate Cancer Charity.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: One in eight men will get prostate cancer. All too
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: often men find out about find out by a complete chance,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: and quite often it is too late. So donate today
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: to help funder research that will improve the odds of
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: catching prostate cancer earlier, because men's lives shouldn't be left
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: to chance.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: So that was me.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: That's something I posted on my just Giving page, So
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: thanks for reading this together. Lots of small donations make
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: one big donation. So if you go onto my Facebook page,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: you'll find a link there for prostate cancer and if
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: you can spare it, just just a small donation, and
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: I'd be so grateful because over the years, I think
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I've helped out enough people and I'm just asking for
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: people to help me. Okay, So that's my little soap
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: box or just one reminder, please go up to the
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: band stand today is it's on Forces Day and the
• 35:03

• 35:10
  Speaker 2: program there from ten o'clock. I do believe I've got
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: a bit of paper here. I can't find you at
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: the moment.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Oh where it is?

  Speaker 2: gurkhas Arif Cadet Bands. Victoria Bass a singer that I

  Speaker 2: right direction actually, and she'll tell you about that.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: They've got the Singports Lindy Hoppers. Their a vintage dance group.

  Speaker 2: So get along today to the band staying for the

  Speaker 2: Armed Forces Day, or tune into a radio Folkston later
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: on during the day. Okay, So now we have got
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: about four minutes and we're just going to wrap up
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: the show. But we were talking about mentions, Beth, So
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: there's one big mention that you want to give now.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I was quite intrigued about the idea of sweatbooks. So
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: first of all, Josh, just tell me briefly how it works.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Where it is. It's a little bit different to a
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: normal gym, isn't it.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: It's tugged away. He's actually got two gyms. He's got
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: one gym that you in Cherton that you have to
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: that's just literally a private gym that you book on
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: an app and it's just you and the gym. So
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: that's for people that are nervous being in a public area.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: So that's good if you're a first time gym and
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: you don't want people there. And the second one is
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: obviously behind McDonald's part farm near Remland Carpets and that one.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: They're both twenty four hours. There's a key number to
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: get your key and then go in. We book on app,
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: so know how many people are in the gym because
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: it's not a massive gym.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: And yeah, and then you go and work out.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: There's been very beneficial for you, hasn't it, especially been
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: a shift worker. Yeah, So do you have to book
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: up before you've sort of you might? I mean I
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: remember sometimes you couldn't wait for a late shift to end.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: But when you got home, use wide away, can't you?
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And you're sort of busting to do stuff. So
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: you could perhaps go training at eleven o'clock a night.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, any anytime day or night, or.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: You've done a night shift.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: I remember when I was, you know, early days, I
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: did night shift and come sit at four o'clock. You're
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: clagging a little bit. But you get home, you wide
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: a wait, you can't sleep, so you could have gone
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: down the gym, can you?
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: So what would people look for on the internet. It
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: seems very unique to folks them this does how can
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: they get in touch?
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: So I'd say the best way is on on social
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: media or just google sweatbox training Folkstone, Yes, and speak
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: to Ross and Jason. Then if you want to give
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: sweatbox a go, or even just a bit of strong Man.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Yep, just give it a go. Okay.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: So we've learned a lot this morning, people out there
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: listening in. We've learned that it's the technique is more
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: important than if you like the shape of your body
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: about doing strong man all strong women, and it's a
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: matter of discipline, certainly, But if you feel like a
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: bit anxious, a bit of anxiety in your life or
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: you've got a lot of energy to burn up, you
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: could perhaps go to Sweatbox. All places like Sweatbox. It's
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: not just sweatbox, but they are specialist for strong men,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: strong women, got the stuff there. So if this is
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: kind of a triggering off a little interest, then just
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: google Sweatbox folks. So we are really out of time now,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: so I just want to thank you Bet for coming
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: in and wish you good luck in Hampshire in August
