The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Birmingham 2026, Paul Murphy crossed the line in 1:12:50: 271st of 693 men, faster than 61% of the field.
The sandbag lunges were the standout, 1:03 quicker than the median and 138th of 693. Stronger after halfway: 1:42 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and Glasgow 2026 were 1:44 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
