The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Simon Van Poppel finished 1,290th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:22:15, faster than 53% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the burpee broad jumps: 1:19 on the median. The sled pull cost the most time: 1:19 slower than the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:03 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and London 2024 were 5:04 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
