Dubai Fitness Challenge 2021: Here’s Everything You Need To Know
Dubai Fitness Challenge has kicked off, which means not only are you going above and beyond to get your 30 minutes done daily, the fittest folk in town are hitting the streets with some seriously inspirational challenges.
Two down, 28 to go… It takes Ghani on average six to seven hours to complete one half-iron man mission, the distance is total is 70.3 miles.
It’s the ultimate challenge, you need to swim 1.2 miles (1.9K), bike 56 miles (90K), and run 13.1 miles (21.1K)… No easy feat! But the most incredible part of all? Back in June when we spoke to Ghani on The Lovin Dubai Show, he admitted at that point that he couldn’t swim but his next goal was to learn how.
