Some of you may have seen my previous endurance (turbo trainer) cycling events for charity, others may be new to them. This one will be by far my most difficult challenge to date.
On Saturday 07th of March at 11am, in support of Macmillan and Cancer Research UK, I'll be starting my attempt to become a
Knight of Sufferlandria. To do this, I'll just have to do ten
Sufferfest videos back to back... simple.
You can view what I'll be up against in this handy (and very, very large) infographic.
For those of you that don't know Sufferfest, they're considered to be some of the hardest cycling training sessions that you can do. In the past I've done the
Tour of Sufferlandria for charity (One or two rides a day for nine days).
That was hard, and with those same vids all being done in one day vs nine for the tour, this will be ridiculous.
In easier to understand terms, the effort required to do this (Calories burned / heart rate / time taken) will be
roughly equivalent to doing two, to two and a half marathons, back to back.
I'm looking at just shy of
thirteen hours total suffering, and if I achieve it (really no guarantees) then I'll have burned something in the order of
8,760 calories.
