Full Circle 20 Jun 2011 | 07:58 am
Yesterday, my mum and I somehow managed the entire Circle line – all 21.7 miles of it, even the extra bit out to Hammersmith. In 10 hours we covered the best part of 23 miles, including stoppages and ...
Jubilation – and a circular challenge 16 Jun 2011 | 07:13 am
May was not a good month for walking. I had two stretches of the Jubilee line planned, but was sadly thwarted twice – once by a stomach bug, and once by planned engineering works, which I should proba...
Go go gadget legs! 24 Apr 2011 | 07:32 am
I made it. Yesterday I walked 15 miles across London, visiting every station from Walthamstow Central to Brixton along the Victoria Line. Well, I say 15 miles. It was probably closer to 16 in reality...
Victoria Line, here I come 22 Apr 2011 | 04:31 am
It looks like a fine day tomorrow to walk the Victoria Line. This is the first big one – end to end, 14.6 miles long, which I’m expecting to take more than 6 hours all told, once you include time spe...
Waterloo & City – done! 17 Apr 2011 | 06:27 am
One down, 11 to go. Or, to put it more into perspective, 2 down, 266 to go. Grant did the walk with me, as it was such a short one – the route we walked came in at 1.9 miles, from Bank station past ...
The first line 16 Apr 2011 | 08:30 pm
So. I’ve been lax about posting here, but I’ve not been skimping on the training. I’ve started walking home from work – just over 6 miles in total, from Vauxhall to Tooting – a couple of times a week....
Planning: the outline 31 Jan 2011 | 06:25 am
One month in to the training programme, and already it’s started to make a real difference to my fitness. I’m up to running two whole minutes at a time – don’t laugh, this is a big deal for me – and w...
Running wrong 19 Jan 2011 | 12:15 am
Last night we went running and for the first time Grant ran behind me, and took a look at how I ran. He realised something a bit odd – I wasn’t picking up my feet or swinging my arms the way you shoul...
Training, week 3 17 Jan 2011 | 06:38 am
Yesterday, Grant and I went for a walk. It’s the third week of training, and I’m using the Couch to 10k app on the iPhone as a way to get me started. I’m not kidding when I say I’ve never done exercis...
A series of Tubes 10 Jan 2011 | 09:10 am
So. I’m going to walk the Tube lines. Overground, I hasten to add, and the point of the walk isn’t to follow the tunnels precisely. What I’m hoping to do is walk between stations and try to cover as m...
