The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:25:23 at London Excel 2025 put Rob Cooke 1,600th of 2,779 men in the Open division.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 34% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 3:16 worse against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 18:32, behind 97% of the field.
Athletes who raced both London Excel 2025 and Birmingham 2025 were 3:02 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
