The race, in words
Joshua Bond finished 2,072nd of 2,779 men in the Open division at London Excel 2025, in 1:32:52.
A station race more than a running one: 45% of the field beaten on the stations, against 17% on the runs. The race faded late: the second half went 1:15 worse against the middle of the field than the first. The roxzone cost time: 14:38, behind 85% of the field.
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.
