The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Nick Heather finished 669th of 716 men in the Open division at London Olympia 2026, in 1:54:39.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 7:58 slower than the median. A harder second half: 15:28 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
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.
