The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Aaron Soady finished 2,085th of 2,771 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:34:54.
A station race more than a running one: 41% of the field beaten on the stations, against 12% on the runs. If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:53 behind the median. The race faded late: the second half went 5:54 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
The field ran 3:32 faster at London Excel 2025 than at Glasgow 2025, a quicker course than most.
