The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:39:26 at London Olympia 2026 put Matthew James 698th of 897 men in the Open division.
On the sandbag lunges the field had the edge, by 2:52. Paced to finish: the second half went 3:19 better 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.
