The race, in words
1:33:06 at Manchester 2026 put Andrew Shields 1,038th of 1,463 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 9% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sandbag lunges: 0:51 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:06 better against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a slow day in Manchester. Measured against their other races this season, the people who raced here lost about 1:21. That was 22:40 off the time at Barcelona 2025.
