The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Charles Proctor finished 543rd of 677 men in the Open division at Birmingham 2026, in 1:37:59.
The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 4:33 slower than the median. A harder second half: 3:19 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
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.
