The Journey
The Challenge
I have set myself the challenge of travelling to every Premier League ground virtually, starting and finishing at the City Ground in Nottingham. Because I am still immunosuppressed, large crowds are not suitable, so this tour is being completed through a daily endurance format.
The target is 950+ miles, equivalent to 30 Olympic triathlons in 30 days: a 1 mile swim, a 25 mile bike ride, and a 6 mile ramble each day. Stages can be completed in different orders, but each discipline must be completed every day.
The swim is 64 lengths in my local pool, cycling is completed on road or in the gym, and the ramble is typically completed at Gedling Country Park.
