The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Alex Stephenson finished 858th of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:16:02, faster than 69% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:10 quicker than the median and 380th of 2,779. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:27 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and London 2025 were 1:42 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
