Olympian Josh Kerr Heads to NYC to Defend His Title at the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile
Description
This week, Rob and Becs are joined by British Olympic 1,500m silver medalist and world champion Josh Kerr. He’s coming back to New York to defend his title won last year at the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile in an astounding 3:47 .9, the third fastest time in event history, and is looking to make history again this year. Fresh off an unforgettable race at Stade de France during the Olympics in Paris, Josh gives listeners a look behind the scenes at the fierce track and field rivalries that kept viewers glued to their screens during the games this past August. Josh recalls what was going through his mind on the track as he took on the competition at a blistering pace, ultimately winning silver. We also get the inside scoop on Josh’s ongoing rivalry with world record holder Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway that keeps fans coming back for more.
Then Meb will be here with his tips for week 8 of training for the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon, and with NYRR member Susan Huang, who tells us about training to run the marathon for her second year in a row in support of Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) .
