London run-derground

As mentioned in my Ride London event report, I have toyed for a long time with the idea of cycling the underground. A much easier to arrange little project is to run all the lines. I quite fancy doing this as part of training myself back to fitness. It gives the long runs a bit more interest and means I get to explore some more of London. I could even take in a parkrun or two along the way.

The lines vary in length and most represent a good run. The Waterloo & City line is a starter for 10 at only a couple of km, and the longest lines are ultra-marathons in their own right. The Northern and longer I'd split up and do in a few sections.

Lengths of the London Underground lines (from wikipedia)

The lengths are probably listing track length so the run-distance would be a bit longer in most cases.

Should be a fun winter running around London, and it'll make some good reconnaissance for if I ever do decide to have a go at the underground cycling challenge.

P.S.: I found this awesome PDF that details the official colours for the lines and Underground signage, etc. Very interesting!
