The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Peter Mathews finished 1,718th of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:27:04.
A station race more than a running one: 55% of the field beaten on the stations, against 24% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 0:54 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:27 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
London Excel gave the field time back: about 1:33 faster than the average race this season, by 3,460 athletes who raced both.
