A Beginner’s Guide to Freerunning

As we stroll down the Thames, a few metres further down by the National Theatre, Blue makes another display of his talent, strength and skill. Among impressive jumps and cartwheels, he is also incredibly agile and precise in his moves. “It is all about the notion of distance,” Blue says. “Some people often tell me that if they could run as I do, they would never be late. But to be honest, outside the freerunning I am lazy!”

By 11am, I am exhausted and it’s time for some well-earned relaxation and a can of Relentless energy drink to give me a boost. I’m certain that I’ll sleep well tonight, and I also leave thinking I’d love to have the opportunity to try out freerunning again. I coped pretty well with the embarrassment of my physical incapability and quite enjoyed the fact that I was desperately unable to do a third of what Blue showed off! But while I’m certainly not a natural, my first experience of freerunning was great fun and it was really interesting to view the space we live in a completely different way.

However, even if I have enjoyed climbing walls, jumping over benches and sliding down rails, I’ve developed a new appreciation for walking on pavements and think I’ll stick with them for now…

Thanks to Relentless and Blue for a great day.

The advertising campaign for the new Relentless Juiced energy drink, featuring Urban Freeflow Freerunner Blue, will be on screens soon, with Relentless Juiced available in stores from March. For more information go to the Relentless website.
