All Roads Lead to Rome

Our interpretation of All Roads Lead to Rome is 'There are many different ways to accomplish the same thing' and we celebrate that in The Bigger Picture Challenge.

It is believed (although disputed by the scholars of course) that when Emperor Caesar Augustus erected a monument in the center of Rome known as the Miliarium Aureum that all distances in the Roman empire were measured from that point ... fascinating huh?

And all roads lead into Rome rather than connecting the smaller cities, which could have joined forces to stage an uprising against Rome.

Our Bigger Picture Challenge of All Roads Leads to Rome is a playful spin on the distance from the most Northern Part of Italy to the most Southern Part.  

From Alto Adrige to Calabria below the distance is 1459 kms (roughly 906 miles)

Using a combination of the figures mentioned above - have fun making up your own challenge distances for example.

One month you may wish to try swimming 14kms

Another month you may wish to run 14 miles a week, or 45kms in the month

Or perhaps in one of the month's you may wish to cycle 14kms a day or 459 in the month

Maybe you are a miles person - Run 90 miles in the month?

Mix it up a bit, have a go at cycling, swimming, running and increase those distances as you progress throught the year!

I think you get the idea - Enjoy playing with the combinations of the distance and make sure you sign up to each month so that you complete a full 12 months of exercise and complete your very own Bigger Picture.

We will be with you all the way - doing our bit to keep you motivated.
