The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Ben Sheppard finished in the top 10% of the field at Birmingham 2026, in 58:14 for 16th of 693 men in the Pro division.
The wall balls were the standout, 2:57 quicker than the median and 8th of 693. Stronger after halfway: 3:00 better against the middle of the field than before it. Quick through the roxzone: 3:48, ahead of 99% of the field.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Cardiff 2026 were 2:09 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
