The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Phipps finished 382nd of 716 men in the Open division at London Olympia 2026, in 1:25:46.
A station race more than a running one: 63% of the field beaten on the stations, against 26% on the runs. The burpee broad jumps were where this race was made, 1:35 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:03 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.
