The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at London Olympia 2026, Luke Buckler crossed the line in 1:09:25: 126th of 445 men, faster than 72% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 1:12 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 2:20 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
