Khalid practiced two months of non-stop cycling to build his stamina

Khalid wanted to do something to challenge himself and to inspire even more people to get fit. Initially, he struggled to compete a 100k ride. However, two months of non-stop cycling which included long rides helped build his stamina.

The last lap of the ride was the hardest!

Besides, he also managed his nutrition and kept himself hydrated to avoid fatigue and cramps. Speaking about the incredible achievement Khalid said “The hardest part of the was the last 40k. Travelling uphill was the most painful experience and I even though I won’t make it to the finish line”.
