There are 3 lines outstanding on the Salomon challenge – Northern Line (Bank branch), Victoria Line and the Bakerloo Line. With only 4 days to go it should still be quite manageable but the trouble is I am still ill.
For the past two weeks I’ve been hacking up chunks and have had to avoid...

I went to London but missed the Queen. I arrived on her doorstep to see a trail of red as the horseguards shot back into their cubby holes.

So last night I went to bed early...

Forgot to set the alarm early but headed out into the pouring rain to complete the 3.5k river route again. I returned like a latent waterfall ready to release torrents onto my hall carpet.
These little loops are feeling damn tough, I’ve lost so much fitness over the last couple of months but I suppose...

I was planning to run the Piccadilly line after work but strangely enough I didn’t feel like it by the time I’d finished. Nontheless, I am a committed challenge runner so I headed to the loos to change into my running clobber anyway.
I let out a less than silent whoop of delight behind the...
