The race, in words
57:02 at London Excel 2025 put Ben Allon-Smith on the age-group podium: 2nd of 636 in the 30–34 age group.
The wall balls were the standout, 3:00 quicker than the median and 74th of 2,779. Stronger after halfway: 3:17 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 7:54, ahead of 99% of the field.
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.
