In this blog series, we’re asking the same set of questions to freerunners and parkour practitioners with different experiences, from different places, grappling with different things, and seeing where we end up. The questions are around the theme of “small things'' and were inspired by some reflections after an almost-bad bail, which you can read more about here: https://www.parkouroutreach.com/new-blog/sweating-the-small-stuff-pt1
Sweating the Small Stuff pt. 2: Emily and Scott
In this blog series, we interview two different athletes for each instalment, and offer their answers side by side. The focus is on the small. We’re not talking the farthest, highest jumps or coolest stories. We might stumble into big topics, but the starting point is the everyday. This week, our interviewees are both Scotland based. Emily trains in Edinburgh, and Scott is based in Glasgow.
Sweating the Small Stuff pt. 1
We’re facing a full-scale lockdown again to start the new year up here in Scotland. It seems as good a time as any to remind ourselves how important the small stuff is. How we can prevent daft injuries by keeping on top of the basics. How the small things can help us overcome frustrations with training plateaus or new restrictions, whether from injuries or public health guidance. How we *should* sweat some of the small stuff.
