The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Louise Lovell crossed the line in 1:27:10: 661st of 1,542 women, faster than 57% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 37% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 1:26 ahead of the median. A harder second half: 1:20 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Barcelona 2025 were 2:56 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
