The race, in three figures
The race, in words
59:44 at EMEA London Olympia 2026 put Sam Oliver 104th of 958 men in the Open division, ahead of 89% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:11 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:14 better against the middle of the field than the first. Time in the roxzone, 3:56, was faster than 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both EMEA London Olympia 2026 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
