The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:37:50 at Birmingham 2026 put Dan Couchman 542nd of 677 men in the Open division.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:03 behind the median. Paced to finish: the second half went 5:12 better against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Birmingham 2026 and London Excel 2025 were 1:23 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
