The race, in words
Jonathan Gowing finished 359th of 445 men in the Pro division at London Olympia 2026, in 1:28:43.
A station race more than a running one: 35% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 0:55 behind the median. Stronger after halfway: 2:06 better against the middle of the field than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced London Olympia gained about 1:56.
