Marine Climbs into the Record Books, Fuelled by CherryActive!

CherryActive News 12 Jan 2011

Sergeant Sam Sheriff of Royal Marine 45 Commando has climbed the height of three Eiffel Towers to earn a place in the record books! Sam challenged himself to climb 3000ft in 100 climbs on a 30 ft gym rope; he completed the grueling climb in 10 hours and 57 minutes, setting a World Record in the process.

Recent research has shown that including CherryActive in your regular diet results in faster muscle recovery and reduced soreness after strenuous exercise, due to its high levels of naturally-occurring antioxidants called anthocyanins. Sam used CherryActive products throughout his training, which included up to four sessions a week of weighted rope climbs to increase his climbing strength for the event. His training and preparation enabled Sam to tackle the gruelling challenge with confidence.

Sam embarked on this challenge to help raise money for the Woodlands Garden Project, which is hoping to build a memorial garden at 45 Commando Royal Marines in Arbroath, Scotland. This will provide a place where friends and loved ones can remember the special men who have lost their lives whilst serving their country. Currently Sam has raised over £2,000 for the Garden Project!

Sam says:
“CherryActive products helped me immensely throughout the course of this challenge. The products helped me recover faster with less muscle soreness, allowing me to train at a higher intensity consistently. I wouldn’t have been able to perform at this level without CherryActive”.
