The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:47:28 at London Olympia 2026 put Nigel Szczygielski 563rd of 642 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 36% of the field beaten on the stations, against 6% on the runs. A harder second half: 2:10 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. The roxzone cost time: 9:42, behind 93% of the field.
London Olympia gave the field time back: about 0:53 faster than the average race this season, by 1,564 athletes who raced both.
