Josh Kerr announced he was going to attempt to break the world record in the mile, a time the has stood for 27 years. He picked a date, July 18th, 2026 and a location, The London Diamond league. As a track and field athlete, this is one of the most challenging things to do, call your shot. Now he had to back it up.
In may, I went to Albuquerque, NM to document a training session with his Brooks Beasts teammates. josh was cracking jokes and keeping things light but Once he stepped on the track, it was like a flip was switched. On a team full of professional athletes, he stood out like future world record holder.
