The race, in words
1:27:24 at London Excel 2025 put John Gordon 1,678th of 2,771 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 56% of the field beaten on the stations, against 29% on the runs. The sandbag lunges were where this race was made, 0:31 ahead of the median. The race faded late: the second half went 1:54 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
London Excel ran fast: the 3,460 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:33 quicker here than at their other races.
