Published this morning, the article promotes the "War on Miles" challenge, where I am taking on the players to see who does the most miles in April.
A quote from the article explains it better!
AFC Bournemouth supporter Gary Trudgett has challenged the Cherries midfield to a war of miles over April.The running stats of Eddie Howe’s midfield have been well documented of late, with Andrew Surman, Dan Gosling, Matt Ritchie and Eunan O'Kane having all topped charts for the most distance covered in the Barclays Premier League.
Now cycling enthusiast Trudgett, as part of his training to represent AFC Bournemouth in Prostate Cancer UK’s 145-mile London to Amsterdam bike ride, will go head-to-head with the midfield four.
The players collectively covered 179.6 km across four league games in March, whilst Gary clocked 207.9 km throughout a tough month of training. With five matches scheduled in for April, it’s guaranteed to be a close call!
“It’s a daunting challenge but one I am really looking forward to,” commented Trudgett.
“Especially as the lads in the midfield are topping the league tables in terms of running stats and distance covered at the moment. Fitness is such a key factor in the AFC Bournemouth team.
“That said, hopefully there will be a few games that the boys are winning comfortably and Eddie [Howe] can give them a rest for the final 10 or 15 minutes. Maybe that’ll give me a chance to win!”
