The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:19:35 at Cardiff 2026 put Chris Lewis-Farley on the age-group podium: 2nd of 16 in the 55–59 age group.
The stations carried this race: faster than 72% of the field across all eight, against 45% on the runs. The wall balls were the standout, 0:54 quicker than the median and 144th of 456. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:19 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Cardiff 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 4:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
