The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at Cardiff 2026, Lisa Eccles crossed the line in 1:22:41: 81st of 389 women, faster than 79% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 88% of the field beaten on the stations, against 67% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:35 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:37 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2024 were 4:50 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
