The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:49:23 at London Olympia 2026 put James Paxton 158th of 177 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 38% of the field beaten on the stations, against 5% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:10 slower than the median. A harder second half: 7:36 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London Olympia gave the field time back: about 0:53 faster than the average race this season, by 1,564 athletes who raced both.
