The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Richard Rush finished 1,304th of 1,917 men in the Open division at London 2025, in 1:28:56.
A station race more than a running one: 52% of the field beaten on the stations, against 21% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 0:57 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:04 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
London ran fast: the 1,383 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:32 quicker here than at their other races.
