The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Paul Carter-Bell finished 485th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:11:55, faster than 83% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 2:05 ahead of the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:23 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
