The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Open division at London Excel 2025, Martyn King crossed the line in 1:22:07: 1,350th of 2,779 men, faster than 51% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 64% of the field beaten on the stations, against 37% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:10 on the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 1:30 better against the middle of the field than the first.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced London Excel gained about 1:33.
