The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Philip Preston finished 385th of 716 men in the Open division at London Olympia 2026, in 1:25:57.
A station race more than a running one: 57% of the field beaten on the stations, against 34% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 1:38 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Olympia 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:54 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
