The race, in words
1:18:43 at London Olympia 2026 put Aidan Blackburn 55th of 219 men in the Open division, ahead of 75% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 88% of the field beaten on the stations, against 63% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 3:09 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:46 better against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 5:08 faster at London Olympia 2026 than at Cardiff 2025, a quicker course than most.
