And over 19 days this April, he completed the ultimate lockdown challenge. The COVID 19 V 19 Project, which consisted of running 19km for 19 days on an indoor treadmill (Total of 361km) and cycling 19km x 19km (total of 361km) to make up a total combined distance of 722km. All in all, it took over 45 hours and he did it while balancing his work on the front line. Incredible.
