The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:11:50 at Cardiff 2026 put Matthew Wilson 147th of 533 men in the Pro division, ahead of 72% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 77% of the field beaten on the stations, against 55% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 2:08 worse against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 2:38, was faster than 85% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Madrid 2025 were 2:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
