The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:13:35 at Birmingham 2025 put Matthew Gamble 296th of 1,600 men in the Open division, ahead of 82% of the field.
The runs carried this race: faster than 89% of the field over the eight kilometres, against 67% on the stations. A harder second half: 1:41 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it. Time in the roxzone, 5:10, was faster than 86% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2025 and London 2024 were 3:16 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
