00:00Hello sir how are you doing? What's your name boss? Stuart. Stuart you work here at

00:14Anytime Fitness? Yes. Cool. What's your role here? What do you do here? I'm a personal trainer. So those

00:20legs are looking in fine form they've had a good workout though haven't they lately? I always

00:26compliment them honestly. Just fill us in on the challenge that you've just recently

00:30completed. So I've cycled to all 20 Premier League stadiums not in a row but separately

00:38so I think it was eight trips. Yeah. Doing the ones close together clumped together. And we were

00:44working out roughly the miles. Just over 1,400 miles. That's insane isn't it? That's insane.

00:51And it's all for a good cause. Who's it for? Prostate Cancer UK. Wicked. Why that charity?

00:58So it's the Premier League charity of choice. Yeah. And also Sir Chris Hoy who's obviously

01:04a cyclist was recently diagnosed with it. So it seemed like the right choice of charity.

01:10Definitely. And you kind of keep yourself fit anyway. I mean did you have to do extra training

01:15for the cycling challenge? No. I just sold my car with cycling anyway. That was the point

01:22of selling it. Yeah. So I cycled everywhere anyway. And then I just decided to try the

01:28first one which was close. Didn't think past that. And then I was like yeah let's do it.

01:32And you come off on the one leg you've come off your bike. Had a few scrapes. Yeah I came

01:38off it going to Nottingham. Yeah. Managed to still make it though. So that's what matters.

01:42We fought but we get back up. Yeah. And then. Wasn't very well going to Ipswich but again

01:47made it. So. And then you had the. You had a nasty injury. Not cycling but not part of

01:53the challenge where you broke some ribs. Yeah. Well my ribs were hurt. I also had a minor

01:58calf tear going to London. Yeah. So. So you were cycling with a calf tear and smashed ribs.

02:05Oh sorry. The calf tear was just before I cycled. Yeah. It was about three weeks before

02:11that trip but I still was going no matter. That doesn't make it easier does it? No it

02:16doesn't help. Yeah. Potentially really badly damaged ribs and a calf tear but. And of all

02:22the grounds you've seen what were the ones that impressed you? So Brighton really surprised

02:27me. Really nice. Yeah. I forgot the Spurs. Spurs was the nicest stadium I've seen. Yeah.

02:33Cool. West Ham as well. Any that were surprisingly in need of a lick of paint?

02:37That's not mean to anyone on camera. That's not mean. I won't say what I think about Liverpool.

02:42So did you do it wearing your Man U shirt? I did a couple of them in the Man U shirt.

02:46Did you rock up outside the city ground? Man City going in your Man U shirt? No I didn't

02:50wear them. I wore it to Southampton because they always treated me really nicely when I lived

02:54down there. Yeah. So I decided to be generous back. Yeah yeah. And I wore it to a couple of the

02:59Leicester one. Well you've raised how much so far? Just under £2,000. It's good going

03:06isn't it? Yeah I'm very happy with that to be honest. People have been very generous. Awesome

03:10mate. Are you just relaxing now or have you got your eyes on another challenge? I've got

03:14a triathlon on the 15th of June. Have you? Yeah. Fair dues. Well good luck with that mate.

03:20Thank you mate. Well done for that couple of grand raise. Fantastic work sir. Thank you very

03:24much.
